no i didn't fix it took it for a run today and on way back got smoke again. cant figure it out do a cam gasket it starts to smoke . before i done cam gasket no smoke . so figure that out

Smoke out the exhaust means its burning a fluid of some kind, in cold weather due to the size of the exhaust system on the Omega, it can "smoke" fair bit in the cold mornings, but this is nothing more than moisture from the system burning off as it heats up.

In this hot weather we have currently, plus you say its on the return journey means the exhaust is up to temp, so its burning something.

Grey-ish/White tint to smoke = Water/coolant
Blue-ish/dark tint to the smoke = Oil

Look very closely and monitor the coolant & oil levels.

ralf. why did you do everything that way round  ie;

cam gasket
breathers
oil change

Dont you think breathers should be first

[bored bigyin54]

So is it burning oil ralf

but only now and again . and only since i done cam gasket and doing oil change now because i changed gasket

[bored bigyin54]

just cant figure out why its doing it now and not before i changed the gasket

[tunnie]

Inspect plug wells & remove them checking for oil

[omega3000]

Is it just burning residue spillage off from the cam gasket

Any oil down the plugs would be quite quickly burned off, within first few miles.

I know that from dropping a load of oil down the 3.0 V6 plugs, from a cam gasket. Clouds of smoke on start up but soon goes!
