if it hasn't done it since with normal driving and there are no other signs i wouldn't worry!

 

it was in a straight line at a stop light. it was fine that night til the next day it blew white smoke while driving..it comes out again when restarted..so I'm hoping its just excess oil burning off & nothing major damage inside .....the check engine light flickered

 

this is the 1st time it happens after my aggressive driving (taking off at a stop light a few times)..there's no leaking that I could see underneath..no rattling in the engine, so that good.

 

does it do it at every start up?

 

yes it does..not just a puff, but more like a mushroom clouds..I may have to tow it to the shop Mon. morning again...I'm sure they'll luv me by now.$$$.

 

sounds exactly like i described, shouldnt be more than 1100 or so, parts included. The motor will have to be lowered but not removed.

 

unfortunately i couldnt get a picture of what I was talking about from the top of the car.

 

hmmm that does sound more serious then, cause what Brando and I are describing is more due to hard cornering and oil sloshing from one side to the other causing it to get by the piston rings.... if you have this happen in a straight line going from light to light it may be an entirely different story....

 

I'm curious to hear what the culprit is. Best of luck either way.

Air oil seperator is the issue that caused my dads to smoke. I could remember exactly what it was called, hope thats it

 

thanks

I hope AOS is the issue..I do have the x-51 oil pan..don't know if that makes any diff...guess I'll find out 2morrow when she's on a flatbed to the shop.

 

I had the car towed to RAC Performance this morning & it turns out to be the AOS.....while they're at it,she'll get new spark plugs, transmission oil pan reseal, & wheel realignment...the engine have to be drop....damn, new shoes will have to wait now..

 

Should only have to be lowered and not dropped, well glad thats what it turned out to be cause thats a hell of a lot cheaper than the alternative.

 

yea I think they lowered it..couldn't hear over the phone..yep, sure beats the alternative(new engine)

 

Did I call it or what?! Where's my prize? lol... great news... New aos is much better than a new engine... Should've did a diy...
