Well it started smoking a day 2 days after its tuneup. After I finished tuning up the car I drove it around and it seemed to run better and quieter (the fact that the eletrodes on the leading plugs were prety much gone probly wasnt helping it). Then I let the car sit for a day and then I went to drive around a little bit today and it seamed to sound a little outa normal.
When i come back frome driving it I smelt oil. The first thing that came to mind was, "F***, there goes my oil seals." So I rev it up to about 5000K held it, and I sware my wife came running out yelling at me that my car was on fire..... Heh I told her I could see all of it in the mirrors. Anyways I know it could be ither my oil control or side seals. what gets me is that this hapends right after I changed the oil and filter.
Its probly due for a rebuild since its got 152K miles on it. I dont drive it much because im saving up for a rebuild, but would you people think it would be ok to still drive it around the block ever other day w/out putting to much ware on the engine? And do you think me changing the oil had anything to do with this?

Thanks, AJ

Is the oil pressure still good?

Well its around 30psi at idle but I have to rev kinda high to get it to 60 maybe around 6000k rpm. it seems a little low to me.

It seems really low... I get around 50-60psi at idle usually. Lowest I've seen on my car at idle is little over 40psi.

Hmm, so its probly more than likely my oil control seals then maybe?
