hamster Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 hi all looking for some advice my 2008 rev 4 started up okay this morning but had a bit of white smoke coming from the exaughst with a little oil spitting out with the gas it then cleared when warmed up but after 5 minutes started spitting oil again then cleared it seems intermitent i checked the engine oil sight glass and it appears that i may have put too much in as the level was way past the top of the glass any thoughts suggestions as to what could be causing this ? many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0007 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Does the oil smell like fuel? Sticky float would do this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
