Sounds like you have a James Bond feature for evading pursuers.
Isn't that a feature rather than a problem


Are those white clouds or bluish clouds of smoke?

On a typical car that blows bluish smoke when you stomp on the gas, it is the burning of excess oil in the cylinders.

The excess oil got there because:

1) Cylinder rings are damaged (blow by) or seized in their groves (Rings not sealing or scraping oil from cylinders).

2) Engine ingesting excessive amounts of oil from the AOS.

3) ?????

White Clouds = coolant getting into cylinders
Could indicate a blown head gasket or something worse (Cracked cylinder wall)

Check the coolant reservoir for oil, and check the engine oil for coolant.


Since you have already been mucking about with the AOS I would start there and make sure all the hoses are good and connections secure.

After that I would pull all the plugs and see if any are oily and black instead of a tan brown.

If you find an oily one then Fiber optic the cylinder to see if you can spot any cracks in the cylinders or head.

Beyond that its probably specialist/mechanic work.
