Oil control rings

each rotor has oil control rings to limit oil going into combustion areas. When these go bad oil from the bearing area in the rotos and the gears flows out ward into combustion areas. To replace these seals you need to pull the motor.

Sorry but 90 percent of the time this is the case.

Fong is right! Though:

Black CAN be fuel (Running way too rich!)
Blue/White CAN be oil


When coolant goes up, even a little will make a LOT of White smoke.
