Car shows no oil on the dip stick Put a liter of oil still no show Lots of oily white smoke 57 reg 1.4 clio
White smoke: White smoke is caused by water and or antifreeze entering the cylinder, and the engine trying to burn it with the fuel. If white smoke is present, check to see if the proper amount of antifreeze is inside the radiator and the overflow bottle. Also check to see if antifreeze has contaminated the engine oil. You can look at the engine oil dipstick, or look at the under side of the engine oil filler cap. If the oil is contaminated with antifreeze, it will have the appearance of a chocolate milkshake. Do not start the engine if the oil is contaminated with antifreeze, as serious internal engine damage can result. It is also possible to be a engine problem you should immediate visit a car service.

Did you say you just bought the truck? If so, have you ever seen oil on the dipstick or checked the oil. Maybe, the wrong dipstick? Did you buy it from a private party or dealer?

Good day,once had a case where person had his oil checked at garage and no sign of oil on dipstick of his Porsche. I stopped behind him on the freeway to try and offer some help when I saw this massive smoke screen(looked like the car was on fire).
Aparently petrol attendant added oil till it showed on the dipstick. It was after this that the car started smoking. I asked the owner to open the engine cover so that I could check the oil level.
It so happened that the somehow the collar on the dipstick which acts as stop against the dipstick tube had moved from its original position.I Moved the collar to the correct position and held it firmly in place so that it couldn’t move up or down and checked the oil.
The oil was way over the full mark. I advised the owner to drain the excess oil at the first and best opportunity as this was his problem. The result was that the engine could not breathe.
