Hi Steve,
It still depends on what sort of smoke is coming out of the rear end. If you have cheap oil in the engine and on cold days with the cold air coming accross the rocker box could cause emulsifying. Is there loads of creamy oil in there. Is there oil mixed in with the water. Is the smoke from the rear steam. Is it only steamy in the morning. Or do you get excessive steam during a warm day. Is the smoke more like very pale blue. Questions,questions,questions, which all need some answers before you go down the route of head gaskets.
