    Sign of blow-by yan. Better have a compression test. Search mo lang dito mga threads regarding where to go for compression tests.

    Or better yet, go to a tructed mechanic.

    Sure, the vehicle would still run but performance would be compromised (as signs begin to show). As I was told, lahat naman ng diesel engines are "Blow by".... I guess what matters is to what extent is it blow by. Kaya as Ry suggested, best to confirm what steps are required to remedy this..... likely an overhaul.

    Thanks sir Benz, naitanong ko rin lang kasi meron din akong na-observed na minimal amount of smoke coming out from the dipstick hole, so far wala pa naman akong nararamdamang pagbabago sa performance ng unit ko as to power, fuel consumption, decline in oil level however, this is one of the signs that my engine is already aging and should not be taken for granted.

    Thanks.

4JA1 Engine, Are there any problems?
