Bro ull pay me after this ,is not from Ur Engine oil rather check ur servo it's the hydraulic that is dropping on ur exhaust.surely Ur hydraulic de short,so Ur slave master for break is bad
My hydraulic was shorting, the mechanic opened the servo and saw that all the hydraulic was entering the servo. So he opened a small outlet and the hydraulic poured out, he rinsed with water and pour out again. Though, i doubt if everything poured out, it will remain small Sha.

Since then, my hydraulic cup is still full unlike before where it dries up with 3 days. Thus, if we emptied the servo, how is it dropping on the exhaust?

Well, ita after they worked on that hydraulic container and servo cleaning that I observed this smoking... You may have a strong point. I will go to another mechanic to check the work they did on the servo and hydraulic container engine (they went to service it or so)

Check your oil in the morning if the oil is short know that the oil rings is bad so you have to go to a mechanic workshop to fix it up..

But if it is not shorten I mean the oil you will know that it is the airflow.. that will require an electrician to check your car... So good luck and ask the mechanic to check if there is any linkage of oil..
We blocked a suspected place of leakage, i am now monitoring this new oil i put in

Coolant is in the tank connected to radiator. Smoking can also be caused by coolant leaking into the exhaust. But this has no business with oil burns
Thank you for your time. I will explore the coolant, the PCV, fuel injector... Before allowing them touch engine. One mechanic has already told me to ring it... That it is d cause.
Thanks

Pcv valve is at the top left corner of the engine.
It may be blocked or bad. You can replace with a new one. But most oil burns issues are not pcv related
What is coolant, is it that tank connected to the radiator, can it cause smoke if no water is in it... Is there a chemical called coolant they pour in the coolant thank?

Check PCV and engine oil level.
I just browsed about PCV... The information there looks as if its the problem i am facing. But none of the mechanic has told me about PCV as a possible cause.

Pls, where can one find d pcv. Under the car or top area. Is there another name local mechanics call it?

Is the pcv in tiny light, 1999 to 2000 model?

What's PCV? the last oil was short but mechanic said it must have been leaking and re covered the engine top by putting a new oil seal round it.

Depends on the quality of the parts and mechanic.

Some so-called tokunbo engines are ringed engines
If it has been ringed before, can it be ringed again and it will work fine, if an expert did it? I am suspecting this my own has been ringed before

Rings are going. May need new engine or change rings
They say if changed, doesn't last... Usually 6 months only... It goes back to square one. New engine is quite expensive

It your oil shorting?
Suspecting so but last mechanic opened top of the engine and seal it well, he suggested that oil maybe leaking from that side and there were stains of oil on the sides of the engine cover.

I then put new oil less than 24hr ago, same thing. Though i am planning to properly monitor this new oil i just put in.

But if eventually its shorting oil... What could be next?
Car TalkCar Smoking Occasionally by mine85(op): 7:55pm On Jun 17, 2022
If i drive for a 5mins or more, white or light blue smoke will suddenly come out and within 2 mins, it will stop. Sometimes, when i accelerate, the smoke will come out much, other times, it won't. Still yet, it smokes sometimes even i don't accelerate at all.

Comparatively, most times, it doesn't smoke. But when it does, it comes out quite much and stops gradually. But when i start the car, it doesn't bring smoke.

What could be the fault.? Your advice needed to also guide me with all these mechanics.

Car. Is 2.2 camry

It is saddened when I read how Nigerian security agents extort and harass motorist on the highway over car registration issues that could be avoided. Do the following you will never be harrassed again.

1. Make sure your car documents are up to date. Eg.
Drivers licence and your car particulars.

2. Be Polite when ever you are been stopped...greet them with smiles on your face when an officer tries to intimidate you try to keep ur cool and stand by your right...don't show any sign of fear. Try as much as possible to be calm.

3. Check the validation of your plate number on FRSC data base. https://nvis.frsc.gov.ng/VehicleManagement/VerifyPlateNo . Enter your plate number..it will display the make of your car, color of your car as it is on your paper. If your plate number is valid and yet to be assigned it means your documents was not uploaded...go to any licencing office with your car particulars they will upload it with a token not more than 1k. Depends on your approach.

4. Be sure your particulars are authentic. To be sure Check your vehicle licence here just enter ur plate number it will display the expiry date of ur paper..abuja registration has not been updated on the site..I don't know why is like that..https://verify.autoreg.ng/.

5. After you have confirmed all and an officer still tries to Harrass you..be calm,don't be afraid to follow them to their station. When you get to their station quietly call Inspector General monitoring Unit 08036242591 and lodge your complaint..they will quickly let you off their hook.

Knowledge is power when used wisely..
I Remain
Your humble brother & friend

What happens when the plate number is not showing,.... Abuja . What should i do? Do a new registration... Bought d car Nigerian used

Only if he had taken the vaccine, he would have saved 6 million without damaged lungs.

You can't have covid-19 without it leaving you with a permanent mark.

If you are smart, just go ahead and take the vaccine.

The rich can afford millions for treatment, the poor will be left in pains to die slowly.

May God help us all.
People who had taken the vaccine still got Covid-19... So?

Use leadway or axa mansard.
It is 3.5% of the value of your car.
For the tiny light, you can decide to value it at 1m or 1.5m
If I buy a used car for 750k and insure at 3.5 which is 26,250. .. is it yearly I will be paying 26k or once off. If the car is stolen, will I be given 750 Worth of car or Cash?

Not a solution.
It can still be vandalized.
Comprehensive insurance with a reliable insurance company is the best
Insurance is how much? For a typical car... tiny light for instance?
