Blue smoke from exhaust and rising oil consumption

Safety first: Monitor oil level closely and avoid overfilling. Operate in a ventilated area.

• Check oil level: Ensure oil is at correct level; drain excess if above MAX.
• Inspect breather: Check crankcase breather for blockage that could force oil into intake.
• Turbo inspection: Inspect turbocharger (if fitted) for oil in compressor outlet and intercooler piping.
• Record consumption: Track oil usage over operating hours. High consumption indicates internal wear and need for engine overhaul.

Blue smoke is typically not fixable without internal engine work; schedule service with a diesel specialist.
