Smoke from Oil dip stick and Oil sump

Featured Replies

I have got a 5 year old Skoda Superb. I have bought it as a pre-worshiped car and have put 5k kms in it so far. Recently have noticed that there are white smoke coming out of the oil dipstick and the oil sump. I checked with the service center and they say its normal, but I am kinda worried. There are no warnings on the MFD.

Can it be a spoiled valve?

Can it be the engine gasket?

Can it be the piston rings?

Can it be the injectors?

 

Car details:

 

2.0 TDI CR AT

77k KMS

No work on the engine so far

No loss in pickup or mileage

Have not seen any considerable oil loss yet

 

 

Any advice would be helpful. I am on the paranoid mode right now.

all engines get some blowpast, that's why they have a breather pipe

Not sure what you mean by "smoke from oil sump", but your "smoke" may simply be water vapour from condensation "boiling off"  rather than oil smoke.

 

As others have said - no problem. Give the car a good high speed run occasionally to keep the tubes clear :)
