Morning, I have a Pajero NL V6 3.5lt petrol/gas. A few days ago, we had an issue with the car blowing white smoke on a short drive after driving fine all day. After a couple of hours stopped, when attempting to re-start on gas there was nothing, wouldn't even try to turn over. Switched it to petrol & it started but made a loud clunk noise so turned it off. Turned it back on & it started no worries, but overheated on way home (2km drive).

After getting it home, we noticed there was no water in the radiator, and milky oil on the dipstick but not on the underside of the oil filler cap.

Since then we have done the following:
*Flushed Radiator completely - No longer any oil in radiator or any bubbles/frothing
*TeeKay tested and came up negative for exhaust gases
*Car no longer over heats
*Bypassed the gas converter for water
*When radiator cap is off, no loss of water when running
*Changed oil out 5-6 times but is still milky in fact even whiter than when we started. It did get slightly better for a time but then got whiter

Car stalls under braking during test drive but did not over heat. Did lose small amount of water from overflow but think this might be solved by replacing radiator cap.

Any suggestions? We will be pressure testing the cooling system this evening or tomorrow.
