did this start only when you put your new exhaust on?

it seems to have. I am not sure if I pushed it too hard lately, or what. I have a feeling it is somehow related to the misfire? thinking maybe there was a leak before or something... I may have to take it in if nothing improves.

sorry xsperf, it was more of a typo. I know there is an s.

well can you see where the smoke is coming from? and if you can, is there an oil spot there?

Did you put in a new exhaust donut? That'd explain it.

**xsperf** · 08-23-2005, 10:07 PM

yea, but how would that explain the missing oil? or is it just two totally different coincidences

**defkon99** · 08-23-2005, 10:59 PM

is it possible to check the spark plugs for fouling.

Yeah, I'd guess the missing oil is a separate issue
