While driving on highway 3 in Bremerton Wa, I look back in my mirror and I see white smoke coming from behind my car....my son goes wow dad, where's that smoke button,....this is cool.
I rush home and park my car and start looking in the engine bay and hear a dripping sound almost like water running...... a few minutes later, I have huge puddles of oil underneath my car... any takers??? and is this expensive (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) |

actually, a few things. 1) white/yellowish sludge on the oil filler cap means there's moisture inside the engine. do you take the car for a lot of short runs where it doesn't get a chance to fully warm up to operating temps? if so, that's a problem. 2) did you pressure wash the engine lately? it's not unheard of to have water getting inside. when was the last time you did a oil-change?
