If its water vapour, then its perfectly normal, by products of petrol combustion engines are water and carbon monoxide <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Secondly, assuming its white blue-smoke, check whether the smoke is being emitted all the time or just whenever the engine is being started (could be even in the afternoon). If the smoke is only emitted when the engine is started and then goes off as it get warm, then the valve seals are worn and a top overhaul is due. If the smoke is emitted at all times, then a complete overhaul is needed. Cheers <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> p/s using thicker oil will not treat the symptoms of the cause, but not the root of the problem. And using thicker oil will result in reduced engine efficiency which translates into higher fuel consumption and reduced horsepower.</blockquote>
