Engine Smoke?

My engine started to smoke out of what looks like between the heatshield and the header on the passengar side. Doesnt smoke bad and isnt very thick of a smoke screen. The engine has normal oil pressure and doesnt sound like it has any problems inside, just normal ticks. It seems to leak alittle more oil then usual but i cant tell where it is coming from. Valve cover gasket? Or? Anyhelp?

Re: Engine Smoke?

If you're dripping any oil on that header, that will create smoke. I'd check the valve cover gasket first.

Check the back of the intake.

Re: Engine Smoke?

Anyone had an overflow of oil out of the hose on the passengar side valve cover? The hose that goes from the cover to the TB.

Normal to have oil in the intake. If ya don't want it put an inline fuel filter on it and lay on the injectors and plug the hole in the TB.
