V70 D5 2001 Vapour from the rocker cover?

Post by Shocktube14 »

I took the oil filler cap off my V70 D5 2001 (220000 miles) while the engine was running, and noticed that I had vapour, or smoke?? coming out as the engine was running, is this normal?? what could be causing this? is it BAD??

Cheers.

This is normal blowby of combustion past the rings.
You're still getting to know this car, aren't you?
