My 4ja1 Isuzu pick up, fuego , has a smoke or mist coming out in dipstick. I check the breather and it has the same amount of smoke coming out. But every time I checked the level of oil by dip stick,

I tried so far was flushing the engine with caltex flushing oil, 3liters, then putting the new clean motor oil, almost 5liters, 15w 40. Still the same condition.

Gee was engine running or not?
is the PCV breather fresh and clean,
but btw , blow by happens on ALL engines. ALL.
only how much matters. !
that is what PCV does, captures that, and eats it (burns it via induction)

show a video of the smoke, with PVC paths clean and not blocked.
do you know who to test breathers, (both ends)? blow on them.
if blocked its blocked, some have check valve one why blocks normal other way never.

blowby is subjective, (amounts)
and its all past the rings. is if excessive, ignore it or rebuild the block.

I take it that this is a diesel engine. The oil you should be using is diesel oil 20w-40 or 50 next there is blowby from the combustion process that is heating the oil in the sump and it is fuming of. If the engine is running well it is not a great problem
If when doing an oil change the oil is thick and heavy and doesn't like to run out then it is a problem as the paraffins in the oil are burning and reducing the oil to tar.and this means engine rebuild.
If it is a petrol engine then you can use diesel oil in it as the only difference is the cleansing additive in the diesel oil. It helps keep a petrol engine clean inside

If it where blow by ( severe) enought to be bad rings you wod be burning
Tons of oil and it would be shooting out of the dip stick. If your breather or pcv was clogged you would see smoke out of the dip stick

Why is white smoking coming from my car dipstick

You either have a clogged PCV system (positive crankcase ventilation) or you have a defective piston or piston ring.

Isuzu 4JA1 starts and immediately goes off, broken priming pump is this the problem? started after service

It could also be that the fuel filter is plugged, allowing only a small amount of fuel to carb Hence it starts but wont stay running.

I think my Isuzu pick up, fuego, 1998, 2.5diesel, has no pcv positive crankcase valve, only a hose from side of the engine cover going to intake and there is a smoke going out at the other end of the

what is your question,ask clearly , please.
what country, ?
this is a usa site with USA documents.
so not stating country makes answers wrong.
we have no 98 FUEGO's here.

wiki shows
4JA1 is a 2.5 L (2,499 cc), 93 mm bore, 92 mm stroke direct injection 8V and 16v engine. It was used in a variety of Isuzu TF Pickups

not one here, in USA
so where, ?
the factory service manual in your country and your engine
covers this, but not here, we dont have this.
all our online sites skip this engine,, like 99% of all engines used not here.

that is correct, some PCV system run a simple Orifice ,like
millions of 4.0L jeep engines had.
(we clean the orfice in the stead) all that is in the FSM.
no need guess, or ponder it ,buy the book and tools
or get it serviced, by those that have that.

the EFI uses on engine out side uSA are 100% different.
in fact, not having OBD2, scan tools that work.
OBD2 is a USA spec,only system.
other countries use EOBD , JOBD or old OBD1, systems and tools.
so , NO COUNTRY no JOY. sorry

My isuzu kb250d 4ja1 turbocharged engine losses up

Run a compression check to see if it's worn rings or valves leaking. Smoke that goes away in the morning can be caused by both.

Newly overhaul isuzu 4ja1 but oil comes out from positive crankcase ventilation

im having the same experience with my isuzu rodeo 1990 4ja1. i overhauled it last december, spent almost 1500dollars on the overhaul kit and again 300 for paying the guy. The engine was running very good and brand new for 2 days only when i suddenly noticed a big drop in engine power while driving. There's oil coming out of the head breather tube and pushing it into the intake manifold. And now much worse oil coming out of my dipstick and my front and rear crank seal also. Can someone please tell me what the problem and best solution is because my car has not even driven for a year with the new overhaul kit and im having the same problems again. This issue is really driving me crazy.

My isuzu 4JA1 engine tends to exhaust white smoke

White smoke means that you have a coolant leak. Two possible causes for that - either the head gasket is punctured and must be replaced or the head itself is damaged and must be welded by an expert. 
Either way the engine must be dismantled to make a full diagnose and repair.
