Also, check for signs of moisture on your dipstick.

There is no moister in the oil (no creamy colour or is the stick showing any signs )
Took the gear case cover off and no moister in there either..
The engine starts up with no hesitation or miss.. and it doesn't struggle to continue to run once it turns over...
Today when I was down I turned it over and there was very little smoke.. Not like it is when it has sat for a while.
I do a test on the cooling system once I find a kit to do so...
FYI I checked the plugs yesterday before start up since I already know it was going to bellow out this steamy smoke.
I'm have an idea where to start now... I'll follow up in the next week or so.
Cheers everyone.
