White vapour from oil breather. - Toby - 12-10-2012
Evening guys,
Recently my '95 XRdt has started to vent white vapour from the oil breather pipe (I don't run with this connected to the intake), and the same vapour also comes from around the oil filler neck.
As far as I can tell, no white smoke is coming out the exhaust system, it is just from the oil breather.
It's starting to get quite bad now, and seems to blow out at higher pressures when on throttle.
If I take the dipstick out of the neck then white vapour comes out pretty fast.
Any thoughts guys? It's on 105k so could be HG, but wouldn't that generate exhaust smoke as well?
Coolant temps are spot on, and the heaters work fine..
Any advice would be great,
Toby.

Sounds quite headgasketty to me I'm afraid mate. Same thing happened to Jake's before we did his hg/turbo etc.
Edit, haven't seen much of you on here recently mate, hope your all good

Yeah but it's been acting fine since then, I guess if it is the HG it must have just been getting worse..
My other thought was it could be worn piston rings, especially as I'm not getting exhaust smoke..

Does it look like this.

Mine was doing that badly, but stopped with a new HG.
