Hi, I wonder if I could get some advise please. I've bought a 1974 1.7 which was imported to the uk and I'm currently restoring. I noticed the oil level was above the maximum but thought I'd deal with that before starting the engine. I had to do some welding underneath and jacked up the passenger side quite high to gain access, and a load of oil came out from somewhere on the drivers side! I couldn't see where it came from but must have been about a pint/half litre. Anyway, I got the car running just afterwards and it sounds fine. Only problem is that after it warms up (about 5 minutes) it starts belching out white/grey smoke from the exhausts. There is also a fair amount of oil ON the exhaust which starts burning off too and the whole car stinks of burning oil! I think the oil ON the exhaust should burn off soon enough, but is there a chance that I have somehow filled the exhaust with oil by tipping the car up? Or could it be something different/worse? It has an after market sort of 4 pipe exhaust system which is rusty and looks a pig to get off. I'll try and add a photo.
Many thanks for any advise. Regards Dylan  |
