HI my 1st gen 2.4D is using a rediculose amount of oil i preety much have to top it up every week. :( . When i rev the engine it puts out black smoke and leaves a watery black mark on the ground. Only if i rev it hard, it doesn't smoke when i drive it normaly. it also smokes when i go offroad up a steep hill ect.
Does any one know what it could be. Ive already taken it to my toyota specilsed they checked the piston rings and they fine. its not leaking a considerable amount where i can see

Not many diesels in the US at all. If it were gas I'd say its the valve stem seals, valve guides, valves and finally the piston rings (after doing a compression check) --- heck, old Diesels always left in a cloud of smoke! Not sure how one would check piston rings other than by low compression reading (could just be one cylinder too) or a complete tear down.
