So I just got all my bushings and new brake lines just waiting for time to do them but mean time once again I have an exhaust leak and today I noticed blue smoke so that's not good at all since the engine only has 17000 miles on it.
Who did the engine? Did it start suddenly? Smokes all the time or just when it starts or under power? May be just a seal letting oil in...it runs fine otherwise?
the guy i bought the car from did the rebuild and the odometer read 13876. i noticed the smoke when it was idling. yeah i just noticed this week so i guess sudden, but it runs fine besides the exhaust leak is bad its back firering through the headers
Anyway to talk to him and see what he thinks? Could be a guide, umbrella seal, cracked ring(worst case) or oil getting in because of a vacuum leak or bad PCV...was hoping someone else could jump in and give a few ideas! Unfortunately I am not a professional...but I did stay at a Holiday Inn awhile back!
Thought that said HOLLEY INN. Had to do a double take. Check the vacuum line down to the trans for oil as well. That is unless its a manual then totally ignore this post.LOL.
yes it is.... oil is around it on the valve cover. i got the exhaust leak fixed so now the oil in the exhaust problem
