Cloud of Smoke
There was some oil but not a lot. Like GSXR said when the vehicle is tilted not much comes out. You still need a pan so you don't make a mess but it's not significant. If you have the new pump and bolts ready to go the mess should be minimal. I had to stop and go to the hardware store in the... -

The only inspection I did was looking at the pump. On the LR4 it's located at the front of the engine at the bottom on the passenger side of the crank shaft. Next to the alternator. I did it myself. It isn't bad to do. Just take off the skid plates and unbolt it. The Part Number I used is... -

Alright! Finally had time to dig in and replace the Vacuum Pump and it was definitely leaking. Took a little drive right before to confirm the smoke issue was still occurring. After replacing, I went on a confirmation drive and sure as shit it's fixed now. So whatever the mechanism it was the... -

Yeah, I read somewhere else that this was a possible culprit. So I replaced them. They weren't bad really. Nothing torn or especially oily. I did note that the valve cover it clips onto is broke a little bit. All I did was use some RTV sealant and make sure it had a good connection. Nah, I... -

Thanks for replying y'all: I certainly hope it's not rings. That would suck. The part that throws me off is that it's intermittent and really only if I accel hard. If you stay under 4k RPMs then it doesn't happen. I am consuming Oil at a slow rate. I just changed my oil and was down a quart... -

It's mostly white with a very light blue tinge. I've got a few random codes but not tied to the smoke. When I accelerate and it happens there is no code. Same with when the smoke occurs when starting the vehicle. 1 or 2 times it's caused a restricted performance code and gave me a whole bunch... -

Hey! Sorry to necro a thread but I have the exact same issue you do/did. Random smoke on start up and big clouds when hard accelerating at 4k+ rev range. Did you ever find out exactly what was happening? Does anyone know? It's driving me crazy.
