So I just finished climbing a short hill and felt the power of the 2.1 in my Westy decline slightly...a heard a honk and then saw people from the sidewalk staring. I glanced out the rear view mirror and there was a very large cloud of bluish smoke behind me. I quickly pulled over and turned the ignition off. Nothing leaking - oil or water but the coolant refill tank was bone dry - previously at the max level a few days ago when I checked. The smoke smelled of burning oil. I quickly restarted the motor just top see if I could see or hear anything. Motor sounded fine but was blowing blue. The temp guage was fine throughout this ordeal. Anyway just about to get her flat bedded to a shop for repair. Theories, thoughts, words of wisdom? BT Freshly painted 86 Syncro Westy.
