As Fez said, we need more infor to go on first. Is it making any noise that it should not?

wow he had a reply within 4 minutes that's good, but why hasn't he come back with the info.

We need to know more about the vehicle, but we could guess

The most popular Nissan on this site with the most queries is the Nissan Terrano 2.7 tdi with intercooler.

So how close am I?

If it is this vehicle then the fault is ....

Could be a cheap and easy fix.
The most expensive option is to scrap it and buy another one.

I recon the answer lies between the two options above, but that would be yet another guess.

Valve stem, turbo leakage, oil blowback, but the smoke might not be blue as such.

What grade engine oil is in it, some sites recommend 5/30 this is far too thin.
10/40 or 15/40 semi synthetic or mineral are fine.

There are several on here that use full synthetic, but others don't recommend as they can burn oil and produce blue smoke.... hmmmm

Try 15/40 mineral and if it still burns oil, could be something else.
But I would wait for a few other ideas first as this is only my opinion.

good luck, and welcome to the site.

best regards,
Rustic
