I started a thread about smoke out of the exhaust a while back and now I have a whole other demon to fight. It now seems I have the intake manifold leak that some of you guys have talked about. It seems that oil is leaking from the back of the motor and onto the y-pipe and converter.
If I drive more than five minutes, when I get out I can look under the car and see smoke coming off of the converter. When checking closely I can see oil on the pipe in front of the converter and the converter itself. There is also oil around the whole bottom of the motor but it's worse near the converter.
When I stop at lights I actually get a light smoking through the back of the hood even, where the seams between the hood and fender near the windshield, but it's coming from below.
Anyway, am I looking at major time or money to fix this?
I only want the car to get through the next couple of months as I am going to be starting on a stroker when the weather gets cold.
Anyone who has done this please help me out!!
