Hello
Peugeot 307 1.4 2003 manual petrol
One week ago someone told me that there's smoke coming from my tailpipe, I noticed there was a white smoke even without pressing the gas pedal.
- I replaced the air filter and the white smoke when the car is idle is gone now.
- When I press the gas pedal I notice a smoke cloud still coming from my tailpipe.
- I checked the oil cap and the oil stick, there's no milky material on it. I also checked the coolant in the reservoir and also no oil can be seen.
- I checked the spark plugs and I found the 3rd one has a significant amount of oil on it.
- I always knew that my valve stem seals need replacement as there was only blue smoke when I first drive my car in the morning.
- I also knew that my car consumes oil, but if the smoke is resulted from the oil it should be blue smoke.
- Today I showed it to a local garage and once he saw the smoke, and that the oil needs to be topped up. He said I need another engine
He said as the oil level is low the engine heats up more and evaporate more. (the oil level still between the two marked lines on the stick).
Also the car still has good power!!
