If you don't know where its coming from, try cleaning the oil off, and then check daily for new oil. It will be hard to tell if oil is everywhere.

if its not ur valve cover it might be ur dizzy o-ring. white smoke where? exhaust? that usually means water/coolant in the oil but its probably freezing in MN so its probably that. oil on the tranny is most likely ur dizzy oring like i said tho.

clean off all the oil and drive the car and see where it reapears

is the dizzy o-ring in the distributor?? white smoke from my exhasut.. LOTS of white smokes not like other cars in MN.. water coolant in my oil? wats the cause for that??

holy ccrap... that means my motor is "F"ed up then... do i have to clean the motor b4 changing head gasket??

SOHC_4dr

yes that would be a good idea. also have the head sent to a machine shop to have the head checked and the mating surface plained so its true and strait. if you dont, look forward to changing the HG in a year or so lol

probably your "cam seals" (on the cam gear side), my bro has a b20vtec and he has some aggressive skunk2 pro2's with toda cam gears, and it leaked for a while. we didnt see it until there was a major oil leak after we came from irwindle speedway. we had to switch it twice, but make sure you know what your doing, i recommend a pro tuner/builder to do it.

does this helps?

nengx07

yea but its leaking from the tranny side... oil on tranny n header

nengx07

hmmm can it be my distributor is loose??? can this make my car put out LOTS of white smoke form exhaust??? i had to put in new distributor from my obd2- obd1 conversion swap... maybe my buddy didnt tight it...

SOHC_4dr

dizzy has nothing to do with white smoke

nengx07

ill clean up oil on motor tomorrow and test to see where its coming from... once i do that i will come back with reply.. please "fingers cross" not head gasket..

change the gasket, drain all fluids, add new oil and coolant. change oil at about 100miles.

after that you should be fine the heat of the motor will evaporate any water or coolant left over in the oil pan see that oil operating temperatures are much higher then coolant

nengx07

changing the gasket as in head gasket??

arrocha87

just check to see if ur oil looks milky or frothy! if its nice and clear its not a headgasket. white smoke could be from the freezing temps like i said before. if ur coolant is leaking into the engine then u would be losing coolant! are ur coolant levels getting lower?

nengx07

how would i check n see if my oil is milky/frothy.... do i have to drain it??? or is ther another way to check without draining my oil... and im pretty sure its not the cold weather... it smells bad like something burning... ill check the radiator fluid tho..

nengx07

ok i cleaned my motor... it leaking out of my header n some spots here n there on the tranny like sprinkling oil on my tranny...

Can you post a picture?

the leak is most likely your cam end cap seal.



This will show you how to replace it
