When travelling down a light grade (3-4%) this morning, my 74 2.0L let out quite a bit of smoke. Basically, I was in 3rd gear, roughly 3,000 RPM, foot OFF the gas, clutch pedal NOT depressed.
Where is this likely coming from? Something dripping on the heat exchangers? |

QUOTE Leaking valve guide dripping onto headers. I thought that a leaking valve (exhaust) guide meant that exhaust is exiting through the valve cover (crankcase). A leaking intake valve guide would leak oil into the intake valve. (which would be worse under engine braking) How could a leaking valve guide leak onto a header? Do you mean a leaking pushrod tube? |
