Urgent!!!

i just went on the dyno to do my e-test and i took it out of the garage and give her a bit and BOOM here goes a big backfire and then suddenly all the road was filled up with white smoke coming out of my exhaust, it smells like oil, anyone have any idea what it could be?

Umm you already had leaking oil into your coolant then you blew a coolant seal and now your getting white smoke that smells like oil.

sounds like you got boost spike and it blew your coolant seal, looking like you sould take the engine out and check everything before you really mess up all the seals.

before you buy anything you need to know exactly what is wrong with it. i'm not sure it's a coolant seal.

1. Check map lines.

2. Turn engine on and check for bubbles in the radiator fluid. If yes? Coolant Seal. If no? check turbos and run a compression test.


malloy mazda, rotary aviation, atkin's rotary, mazdatrix, pineapple racing, etc. all sell engine rebuild products. BUT FIRST YOU NEED TO CHECK WHAT BROKE.

I'd doubt you blew a coolant seal for as much smoke as you're claiming. I'd say it's probably a hose that's leaking onto the exhaust or a coolant seal in the turbos.
