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)

Hmmm, so it kinda sounds like a leaky oil filler cap.
Oil on the exhaust manifold will definately do a quick James Bond smoke screen. I had that going on a '65 Chevelle. Not pretty.

Also: Andy's comments about water in the engine are absolutely true. I've had the exact thing happen to a friends V dub. He did nothing but short trips in it. An oil change later and all was good. Then he would do a longer journey every once in a while to get it up to a fully heated operating temperature.

FYI: worn rings can exaggerate a worn filler cap gasket leak as cylinder pressure bypasses into the crankcase.

Can you tell i'm bored?? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
