I started my car last night and a ton of pretty thick exhaust came out. Not black just really thick and smelled incredibly fumy. Is this bad? I have a few problems with it already that I need to fix, is this another one or the cause of not fixing one of the prior problems yet? |

Valve seals can leak oil and your start up will be blue while the oil burns off in the chamber -------------------- -Mike
