ok, i have updated problems and thought id make a new thread.
i changed the oil in my brothers car the other day, after i finished i started the car and a white puff of smoke came out the exhaust for a good 5 seconds. started looking around for leaks, and noticed an oil leak:
thats some hose comming from somewhere i dont know into the oil pan. i havent had a chance to clean things up and watch it to see where the oil comes from. it might be dripping from somewhere else onto that hose. making it appear that the hose is leaking.
as far as the white smoke. its burning coolant right? but it only happens when the car is started. i did a compression test on it, and these are the results:
1-155
2-160
3-150
4-120
test done when hot.
that doesnt really explain why its burning coolant though. does it? help please. thanks
