Me and my dad went to go check out a 95 civic EX today and when I rev the hell out of it and my dad puts his hand behind the muffler he says oil comes out with some black smoke, but when we were driving it we didn't notice any smoke. Is this a big deal to fix?

 

black smoke is usually gas.. from running rich.... blue smoke is oil... and white smoke is coolant... and steam is water from condensation in the exhaust....

 

Ya it could be rich as hell. but it also could be that the person never got on the car.

ever notice that people with nice cars when your trying to push them and they get on it and black smelly smoke comes out

 

So is this a big deal? I always heard you shouldn't buy a car that has smoke coming out of the exhaust.

i personally wouldnt buy a car that is already smoking

 

sometimes i have black smoke come out my exhuast but thats because im running rich... i dont know why or how it started but i havent been able to fix it ... but anyway yeah.. i wouldnt buy a car that has noticable problems ...

 

my computer is tuned too run a little rich, and sometimes i get puffs of black comin out of the exhaust, but the car runs great, i dont really think its a big deal but i got a eg hatch w/ a jdm b18c.....did you ask the owner or dealer about it?

 

by the way its definitly not oil comin out of the exhaust, thats just stupid, its condensation

 

The guy said, "It's nothing, It's nothing don't worry 'bout it", but I don't want to trust a used car salesman.

 

come with warranty?

 

The guy said if it started leaking oil in the next 2 months he would fix it , but thats it as far as a warranty goes.
