<div>RE: Smoke from the breather. Check you water level to be sure it is where you last checked it. Pull the oil filler cap and look underneath, if you see a grayish gunk then you probably have water in your oil....not a good thing. Clean it off and go again
to be sure. </div>

<div>RE: Pinging. Where do you live, hot day driving? Pinging, or pre-ignition, can be either timing is too advanced or you need to step up the octane rating of your petrol. In the summertime I always run premium. This could be causing the engine to run
hot and thus some smoke, if not steam, at your breather. </div>

<div>Hope this helps,</div>
