Default Re: Smoke...smoke everywhere.

Overfilling the crankcase by a little won't cause the smoking. You are loosing compression by the rings or valves. It gets into the crankcase and has to go out somewhere. Driving at a little speed, the road draft tube creates a vacuum to exhaust the gasses out the bottom.

The compression rings can be worn or stuck and the oil rings still do their job reasonably well.

Smoke out the oil fill is usually caused by ring blow by.
