your picture is really confusing. so your saying there is smoke coming out of the headers? and there is oil splatter spots all over your engine bay?
|
sorry
smokes only comming out of the underneath the manifold (silver peice) it smoked so bad that it came out from underneath the hood yeah oil spots all over the bay including on the anti-freeze jug, if im right all over the altanater like soaked all over the hose you see |
2 things i can think off the top of my head. either your Filter Gasket is not good and your oil is splattering out, the oil that gets on your headers or tranny get really hot and burn that is the smoke you see. OR your Oil Cap is
shot and your splattering oil out of there, and once again the oil gets burnt and you see smoke. Is the oil level on your car good? if its low then your losing oil somehow and you need to find from where. Take a rag clean around the engine (when cold). Start your car and just see if you can spot any oil leaks, you can rev up your car with the throttle body cable using your hand. And see if theres anything you can see from the top or jack up your car and carefully look under it. make sure you dont get oil on your face or anything because when hot it really burns lol. keep us updated and we can go from there. Try changing your oil and Filter, when changing your filter dont over torque it. should be hand tight only. |
*Update*
so after i left it sitting for 3 days i went and changed the oil
cause iv never seen red toyota anti freeze in my life before i changed it too felt strange but their was no oil in it so my car got alot quieter, System Check light on, went to Advanced n they hooked it up to their machine and told me their was a Vaccum leak they told me to get a can of choke and spray it on the hoses untill i hear it idling funny then i called autozone to make sure that was a cool thing to do and they said the stuff was flammable id be running a risk of starting a fire i need my car tommorrow for work =((((( i dont know what im going to do i love working on it id love to be able to fix it, i dont have work till 4 i just dont know what to do for once in my life i feel lost lol im not gonna stress about it though i know theirs gotta be a way...Hopefully!
