RE: M103: White smoke from engine breather hose

Perform a compression test right off the bat.
You may want to consider switching to a thicker viscosity engine oil. Too thin an oil on a high mileage motor will cause the white vapor you described. Use MOBIL 1 15W 50 most MBZ techs. swear by this stuff.
