I noticed yesterday evening that when I took off the pickup smoked white smoke after it was warm but then cleared up. This morning I started it up and it ran fine, I drove the 8 blocks to work and parked. An hour later I went out and there was oil leaking out of the muffler. It is black and oily and has made a large wet place under the muffler. It smoked again this morning and it hasn't been doing that. What could this mean?
I just checked again. Its not oil. I think its antifreeze with exhaust soot making it look like oil. Is this a headgasket? How far can I drive without hydro-locking it?
Well, I hate to tell you but it does and it was the EGR cooler. Had to replace the cooler and the lines. Flush the system and rework the turbo because it had coolant going thru it. But I got everything fixed now and its running great.
YEP, same issue on my 04, EGR Cooler went bad, the fins in the middle cracked and caused it to leak antifreeze into my exhaust. NASTY smell. White smoke, and puddles under the exhaust. pain in the *** to fix though. good luck
I have an 04 and have the same problem as well. Coolant leaking out of exhaust and white smoke....any of u guys have to do head gaskets as well as the egr and oil cooler? ....please please tell me no! lease:
Hey guys i just got done changing all my gray tempo lines and rebuilding my carbs on my 951 GTX. When i first went to go start the engine it seemed like it wasnt getting enough fuel so i turned out the low speed screws alittle more and started right up. Now i have oil coming out the exhaust and the motor will not stop revving up on its own..any suggestions?
