So i was revvin my engine today with the hood open usin the throttle... I was holdin like 4 or 5 thousand rpm to investigate a stranged squeek that was happening ONLY at precisely 3500 rpm and then smoke was comin from my oil dipstick!! So i pulled it out and then it kept comin out of the little dipstick hole...WTF!? Also what the hell could be makin a squeekin noise at only 3500 rpm? Later today it changed from 3500 to somewhere like 5000 rpm.... WTF?

 

?

 

bump

 

mods?

color of smoke?

 

All i have is an SRI and the smoke was like white

 

How was the oil level? Are you running low on oil in between oil changes? Are there any leaks after parking your car somwhere overnight?

dont know if this is related to your prob at all but how is your compression?

Do a compression test, that smoke you are describing sounds like extreme blowby, from bad rings/cracked ringlands. As far as the squeek goes, it could be the alternator bearing, dizzy bearing, ps pump, or ac clutch. remve your belts and turn each one by hand and check for any play, or roughness.

Is it real bad or what?

 

it means you compressed air and fuel is making its way past the rings and into you crankcase, thats why you are seing smoke comming out your dipstick tube

 

Damn... How much to fix it?? Also what could have caused it? I mean i take care of my car...

 

This could be wrong, but i have heard of the dip stick tube comming loose, or falling out all togher. It could be loose and dripping some oil and burining off.
Search in the ITR forum, there is a 4 or 5 page thread about the dip stick coming loose

How many miles you have on the engine? And is your car ever overheating? Too many variable to diagnose. AND at that an internet diagnoses.

If it was coming out of the dipstick tube, you have air and fuel below the compression rings in at least one cylinder. Might as well install new rings at this point, though, since you are going turbo. If you install new rings, it will most probably go away. Right now you are losing compression, though, so don't race or rev your car. It is only detremental to the health of your engine at this point.

Will a compression test determine whether or not i have a blow by problem..

 

white smoke is usually a coolant leak.
