Help! What is this?!

F87LUV · 07-11-2011, 05:53 PM

I just pulled into my driveway and noticed my car was smoking! Any ideas? It looks like oil is leaking from somewhere. No indicators are lit on my dash.

Looks to be a valve cover leak,

VCG. Welcome to the Inline 6.

Actually, I think my M62tu had way more problems with it despite the block being shorter.

It's actually not that bad of a fix. It could be MUCH worse.

Don't forget to check you oil level. Don't want you running around on low oil.

PS: I kinda like the smell but I'm sure it's not good for my brain cells.
