Oh no I've been lazy I parked it this summer because I saw the smoke odd thing is there is no coolant in the oil or vice versa I'm going to button it up and run a compression test

Well, in this colder weather these days, you will get white smoke til the

I would also try the other tests suggested in recent emails.

Good luck,
