  • more smoke

    8 months ago i bought 2000 model Prado 1kzte recently it has been producing smoke allot of smoke coming out the exhaust its a blue white colour that smells of oil i can putt around town and get nothing but after i put it under load and keep it under load then say stop at the lights smoke pours out then slowly get thinner and eventually after 5 mins no smoke ... im also worried it might be the head i got warm on a trip once and i have found a current path in my radiator im worried it has eaten the alloy head there is no oil in the water the only reason i notice the radiator is because i has 2 leaks in it that i presume are from the electrolysis .. this lead me to inspect the engine a little closer and i have also discoverer a leak around the turbo and thinking back to when i first got the Prado i was making a kazoo like noise when the accelerator was applied and now that noise is gone i have this smoke ... i had the engine check befor and non of this showed up .. im a little lost to be honest . i got give a spare turbo but i do know weather i show check the head gasket and head for it condition .. money is pretty tight ... how should i go about this and what should i be looking for :?

    Get a new rad regardless... Maybe have a compression test done and a leak-down test
    Leak-down tests for valve stem seals worn
    I got a fenix rad for my diesel for under 200 del from eBay
