Thanks for the response. It is a little sludgy and the PCV was fowled so I replaced that and ran an engine flush through. Changed the oil and filter. Is taking the valve cover off a big job? Is there a gasket I will have to replace? What do you imagine the clicking noise might be? thanks again

Hi guys, My Kluger is blowing smoke on occasion. Sometimes at start up. Sometimes whilst driving. When it happens while driving there's a couple of small audible clicks before a big puff of smoke. It smells oily yet yet it isn't over filled. I serviced it to see if it'd fix the problem and it hasn't. Any ideas. The click is vertually an indicator that it's going to do it. Any ideas as to what it means or what it could be. Thanks

That was an excellent answer. Seems like you're right on the money. I will have to take the valve cover off and investigate as there is sludge at the oil filler. I did put engine flush before servicing it but hard to tell whether that stuff actually works. Thanks so much do your answer. I will say I get the smoke at start up when the car is leaning nose first down a hill but not when facing up the hill. Also it's intermittent while driving. Sometimes bad or not at all thanks again

Thanks. I've changed the oil, which was pretty sludgy and the filter. What else could be making it smoke?

Hey guys just wondering if anyone knows the location of the fuel filter on a 2012 v6 Kluger. Can't seem to find it under the hood. Car is blowing a bit of smoke and I think I've got dirty fuel and need to change the filter. Thanks in advance.
