Hi buddy yep i am pretty sure its steam/water as it doesnt have the usuall gagging oil burning smell and the oil level is bang on , the water level doesnt seemed to have dropped any , i took photos i will upload asap today though they dont show much as on the 3rd startup the amount had dropped considerably.

As for AOS sorry i havent a clue what the AOS is or does , i will do a bit of reading tonight when i get back thnx

@tonycarreon hi m8 thnx yep coolant looks fine no oily slick on top or excessive bubbling , also dipped and no visable oil on the thin piece of wood i dipped into the water m8 thnx

sounds like a plan to me mate

Please correct me if i am wrong but i am assuming bluey very light blue is oil smoke and pure white is steam i.e. water smoke ?

Also if assuming it was white this would be head / head gasket if it was bluey this could be AOS , for any of these wouldnt the engine managment light come on ?

as i have no misfire or poor starting or oil or water loss thnx

also how do i rule out the AOS thnx
