22re pickup is Blowing Smoke
Hey guys. I'm new to this. May be in the completely wrong section. However, my Toyota pickup (22re) is blowing light colored smoke. It has been since I got it half a year ago. Drives fine. Has been rebuilt, which may have something to do with it. I got it post rebuild and have no documentation. I am running low on oil after about 1000 miles of fresh change and my engine coolant is running dry in about the same amount of time. Does anyone have a decent diagnosis? The engine also clicks. But again, this is pretty common, and it has run beautifully with no problems. The hose for vsv and some other emission valves have dry rotted so I caped them for the time being until I can pull new ones. Can anyone help or redirect me to somewhere I can get a thought?
Thanks
Luke

Don't put any type of sealer in the Radiotor or the oil. It will cost you the motor in the long run.
You need to find out how your radiator fluid is disapearing. Start with a coolant pressure tester and see if there are any external leaks and address. Then you need to do a compression test. See if your head gasket is leaking internally into the combustion chamber. I bet your head gasket is going and your leaking coolant into the combustion chamber and you see this white smoke as a result.
Oil burning is a lot less of an issue than coolant. Get your coolant issues in order first...

Please don't use this or any other sealer as it may cause you even bigger problems with blocked coolant passages, heater core, radiator, etc. If you think the HG is going of gone, diagnose and fix it correctly.

X2 on the additive. I would not recommend using those. Find the leak and fix it before trying to bandaid it.
If you do not have a pressure tester, you can rent one from a parts store to see where you have a leak.
Also as other have stated, do a compression test and post the results. Then if suspect , do a wet compression test to further find out what's happening.
