smoke

[97burnout]

Hey guys haven't been around in a while.... I am getting smoke real bad when I hot rod a little. couldn't tell what color cause it was dark but I saw the some in my friends headlights as I was beating him(Lancer). Anyways I have been noticing these little oil spots on the drive way and I mean little, so no serious leak. What do you guys think? no leak at filter or plug... Think this is just some normal wear and tear or even related to each other... maybe a bad bottom end gasket? p.s. I just changed my oil too

Re: smoke

bottom end gasket = oil pan gasket?

we couldnt tell you anything till you know what color smoke
have you checked your oil or the level?

Re: smoke

yeah the pan gasket for the spots... those were before the oil changed and I saw them the morning after I had been hot rodding.... couldn't really see oil anywere on the engine... so I changed the oil and have been checking for spots but its been raining and just tonight I saw the smoke.... Color? I know thats what I said, I couldn't see the color cause it was dark, I will check tomorrow if I see it. I can probably figure it out just thought I would ask some opinions.... typical.... white = moisture blue=oil/valves

Re: smoke

white=coolant
blue=oil
grey=gas
I think

the oil pan is on the bottom of the engine so tell me how is it gonna get oil up on top of the engine?

Re: smoke

I think I will just change the gaskets all the way around. What do you mean the top of the engine? I never said that

Re: smoke

When my rear main seal went if i got on it it would spew oil out of the bad seal onto the y pipe and burn for a few minuts. If the smoke is comming from your exuhast pips then it has nothing to do with a gasket(unless its white smoke , then its your head gasket).

It could ALSO be bad intake gaskets, cracked block, cracked head, warped head, warped block.... dont think it would be valves
