aight well i had some issues with the car all my oil was dummmping out my breather on my valvl covers next to the intake piping so i parked my protege and orderd me a oil catch can.
oil can got here i instaled it turned the car let it idle to warm then noticed white smoke coming out my tail pipe and then i look at the can and smoke is coming out the catch can breather so i turn the car off check the oil and theirs no crystalization so its not a blown headgasket
i noticed while the car was parked i had a small oil leak so i checked it out and it seems to be comming from the oil return line so today im going and buying all new hoses, going to do a compression test etc to figure this out
i read somewhere that it me be the valve seals??? or rear main seal etc
and was wondering if this was even possible since i have only 9800 miles on a rebuilt motor/head/trans etc
the only thing i could think of is that i installed some copper plugs before the car got parked and mayb when i started it up one of the plugs fouled out???? and thats the reason for the smoke from the tail pipe???
well any info would be good, now im off to pull the plugs check for fouling then a compression test etc etc any help or advice would be apperciated just want to try and pin point my issues im having before i go spending money trying to fix it
thanx cp
