ye sounds like its burning oil. could be worn piston rings or valve stem oil seals. either way pretty big job.

not a pretty big job at all ive become a dab hand at sorting the 2.25 diesel 10j injun

how i stopped the chuff and blue smoke on mine was fitting new valve stem oil seals an oil change as mine was black as fook and thin as sheeps **** and sort the tappets to the correct gap and a shot of injector cleaner in the tank

for me to do the valve stem oil seals with taking the head off and doing it properly takes a couple of hours with a new head gasket and decoke of the head
