A Little White Smoke...?

[patshea098]

hey guys, just on this last tank of gas i noticed something. Im getting a little bit of white smoke coming from the exhaust.
It ONLY occurs when i let off the gas and the RPMs fall as i slow down. But if im on the gas, put it under a load, or go WOT its all black smoke all day. at a stand still no white smoke. But when i do let off the gas and it happens it only happens for a second or two. What could be the source of this specific occurance. Id hate for my engine to become hydro-locked.

does it have a tuner?

 

[patshea098]

yes it has diesel innovations 6 position tuner.....it has always had it...and this JUST started happening...

i do have a slight oil leak i jsut noticed too by the way. anything i should check with the engine coolant?

anyone?

maybe a cracked injector cup... just guessing.. does it have any other symptoms?

this is exactly what its doing.
-upon a acceleration/load its no smoke/black smoke depending on how hard acceleration.
-when going faster 50mph+ and i let off the throttle no white smoke.
-when going less then 50mph and let off the gas it gives white smoke for a few seconds.
-under a very light acceleration theres white smoke
-a small oil leak

seems to be getting a little worse.

So what is a list of things i can check out that would cause this? cause like i said its really only when off the throttle. i need help ASAP because i dont have another vehicle and i dont want a hydro locked vehicle...
