smoke comming from where i put my oil??
ok, earlier today, i was driving home, and then started to smelling this really bad burning smell from my engine...so when i got to my friends house, and checked my oil, i was 1 quart less...so i decided to add more oil in, so when i opened the oil cap, there was smoke comming from inside the head...this has never happend to me before, it was pretty cold today. even on hot days, when i open my oil cap, smoke doesn't come out...so i added oil and drove it...i didn't smell it anymore, but when i popped my hood again and opened the oil cap, smoke started comming out again...is this normal??

Well most of the time, when my engine is up at normal operating temperature, this happens also. Not a lot of smoke, just a little bit. It's fine. Just hot oil circulating and not really going anywhere.

I get a little smoke out of my oil cap. I also get a lil smoke when pulling out my dipstick. Hot oil is going to smoke, especially when its cooler outside.

If it's excessive, it could be a bad PCV valve-- pull it out and shake it. If it clicks, it's still good and working, if it doesn't, it needs to be replaced. This could also be bad rings/cracked ring lands-- in this case, you're getting blow by and it's coming out there.

Re: (Slammed92hbonN20)
does that really strong burning rubber smell has anything to do with it though? cuz it was a strong scent, but i'm afraid it might be something else burning
