The PVC valve is new, only about a week n half old, got one from ID Workz, Iv just put some Stop Smoke in the oil for the oil seals in the turbo so I hope that works side I remember on my last Glanza it was doing a similar thing and I put some stop smoke in that n after about 2 days it stopped, so hopefully it will be that

That just looks like steam to me. If it was overfueling it would be black smoke.

If its burning oil it would be blueish smoke. If its a thick grey smoke and doesnt disperse quickly (yours does disperse quick) thats a sign of burning/using oil too and could be from your turbo.

In the video its just looks like white water vapour/condensation which is nothing to worry about. However in saying that it water vapour could also mean HG failure as the engine is burning coolant. But if you have none of the typical faults associated with HG failure then its probably just steam.

What was the reason for changing your PCV a few weeks ago? just out of interest?

Cheers

Well I am loosing a lot of coolant and I can't did anywhere it is going tho.

And the reason I had to change the PVC was cause I snapped it by trying to remove it lol

First step will be to remove the stop smoke from your engine before you blow the engine or the turbo.
It is condensation yes, but you can clearly see blue smoke also. I also see little black smoke?

How will it blow the engine or the tuebo if I don't remove it? I ran some of this stuff in my last Glanza for about 6 months and was fine, just curious that's all.

And the only black bits was (as I can tell) was water as people said and was no black smoke at all, just grey, cause at the end of the video I show the floor to show howmuch it has kicked out in such short time.

Stop smoke is made for old engines(old design)
It will eventually clog the turbo oil feed and it is not made for turbo charged engines. A turbo charger needs full synthetic so that the oil can be stable while it is going through the scorching core. This will deteriorate/toast the oil with stop smoke fast that will end up in broken turbo/big ends.

The grey smoke can be the blue smoke that I am seeing. Usually turbo thrust washer is worn when it smokes like that.

The stop smoke has worked, it isn't smoking anymore white smoke anymore, I knew it would work cause iv use it before on a few glanza's that was smoking like that and it's always stopped smoking after a week or so of it being running round the engine.

Bud, if an engine smokes then there is a mechanical problem. Stop smoke does not fix the problem.
How do you think does stop smoke make an engine stop smoke? Its like glue bud. But at least you used one for turbochargers. :)

at least change the oil after the smoking has stopped , then you know there's no excess smokestop in the engine. if its a ct-9 swap it out for a different one , they go for cheap these days,
