whatever no biggie just drain my oil tomarrow if it really will kill my motor havnt even drove it more then 3 miles since the additive.... i cant find the leak & was hoping someone with this same problem had figured it out before and might have some advice because i have to drive 300 miles in like 2 days so whatever of you wanna be a g0mer go for it but some real advice/help would be cool 2.

anyways the only problem i could see with the stop leak is clogging the oil injection system (i dont know exsactly how this works) but i premix my gas anyways so that wouldnt bug me..

87 t-66 - i looked but had no luck the smoke seams to come from everywhere yet no where and i cant find any oil drops when i park it so i think its somthing when the car is running.?

 

Rebuild time!

 

why not fix the leak without having to find it?? (unless stopleak really will kill my CAR in that case your way is better)

IT IS REBUILT!!! haha its only got 3,000k on it

 

hopefully your PD isn't leaking

 

how would i find out??

The smoke smells like burning oil or baking oil more like it i think if it was gas it would havbe been in flames already smells bad! therefore i dont THINK it is my PD however i could be wrong i mix my gas so maby there is a lil 2stroke oil burning off with the gas fumes making the oily smell its annoying and scarry i dont want it to burn!!!! but seriously does anyone know if oil stop leak is gunna clogg anything?

 

To find the oil leak, first totally degrease and clean the engine. Remove all standing oil and crud. Then simply start the car and observe the engine to find the leak. It may take a little driving to get the oil flowing.

Common leak areas are the oil filter pedestal, metering oil pump, oil cooler lines, and turbo oil feed and drain lines.

 

stop leak is a terrible idea for any engine. I had an issue with my oil cooler lines and my oil filter pedestal which in turn leaked on my heater hose which screwed me over too. but oh well. all better now. hah

 

Oh man...

 

HAHA! that pics great..changed my oil (got rid of the stopleak) and did some looking around i think my tranny might be leaking onto my CAT (im just gunna put some tranny stop leak in there hahahahahah)

 

not really... anyone kno whow to close a thread??
