Some Nissan Juke owners report experiencing issues with exhaust smoke, specifically rapid oil consumption and dark white smoke. This excessive oil consumption may indicate that the engine is burning oil due to internal leaks into the combustion chamber or exhaust system. Additionally, the presence of dark white smoke could signal a cooling system problem, such as a blown head gasket or cracked engine head, which can lead to reduced engine power and rough idling. If coolant leaks into the oil system, it can compromise the oil's lubricating ability, potentially causing further engine damage. To address these concerns, owners are advised to regularly monitor engine oil levels, check for coolant leaks, and seek inspection by a qualified mechanic if the smoke persists or worsens.
