Hello all you wrenchhead.com fans, I need some answers before I take my 22 smokin' Kohler to the shop, don't want to get flim flammed by my dealer.............again. What I would like to know is what possible causes contribute to a engine with a little less than 700 hrs on it to smoke, consume in a 5 hr period enough oil to go from the full mark to the add mark, and now it is running on when the key is cut off. I changed the bottom filter the other day, the fuel filter and the plugs, one was terribly fouled, the other was good. I thought that would help but it didn't, still using oil. It isn't making the compressor sound so I wouldn't know if the head gasket was blown or not. It has a history of knocking but everybody say's that is common for the Kohler. I have been running the wix oil filters and Havoline 10-30 oil. One thing I have noticed is at the very top of the oil fill spout there is a white milky substance, almost like water in the oil on a car, but I haven't been adding water!!!! Any ideas, I'll write them all down, still have 1 yr on warranty and want it straight before it runs out.<p>Thanks,<br>Homer
