I'd say that there is also oil in the fuel, and maybe water. I'm thinking a cracked cylinder block. How far are you from the North Sea?

Re: Fuel in oil?

First, are you running on muffs? Could'nt see with all the steam. Fuel in the oil, generaly indicates, a float not seating in the carb, letting to much fuel in the motor while ideling, and it gets past the rings, and into oil. Look into the carb while ideling, and see if it is dripping fuel fast down inside the carb.

You are running that without water?!?!?!?!

That could be burning rubber smoke.
