Greetings guys,
I'm currently driving a V6 Perdana year 2000, and it has been giving out a lot of white smoke recently. Also I have to keep refilling my engine oil as it runs out quickly. On the other hand, when the engine is cold (eg. In the morning), on start-up the engine produce this clanky sound but the sound soon fades away after the engine is warmed up properly.
As I roughly know, this has something to do with the piston rings or gasket seals (if i'm not wrong). Just would like to hear from the experts here :).
The engine and gearbox was previously overhauled 3 years back (mileage back then was 170k km while current mileage is 275k km). It would suck if I have to overhaul the engine again. What's your 2 cents?
Cheers!
