2000 Camry LE Too Much Oil... Parked .. White Smoke .. Oil Spots Help!!
 
2000 Toyota Camry LE 4 Cyl
I Checked my oil ---- didnt show any at all less than 1 quart
i put 3 quarts in
then i think it was 1 quart over

i have a loud system.. missed the noises

i parked and saw white smoke comming out of the silver part that has a hand on it

http://tinypic.com/r/212u4nd/4 (Not a Real Picture of my car)

pink represents oil and the green represents smoke

thats a picture
yeah its scary looking
oil everywhere it seems
so i left it sit for 7 hours and it started up but made noises like something was grinding or somethin strange ill update this once i figure out what it sounds like

im thinking its either
1) Seal busted
2) Rod in the oilpan
3) Head Gasket

Hopefully someone can tell me somethin
Can yall tell me what to do or what not to do
im kinda lost ;\
like is it safe to drive my car?

lol this cant be good ;\

without help all i know how to do is drain the oil and put new oil in it

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?

2000Toyz4Boyz 09-19-2009 07:40 PM

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!

Plz help me if you can, if not well ill be helping you after this if it ever happens to you lol ;)~>
