it's been going on for about a week, i've tightened all the fittings and clamps, yet i drove it for a lil bit and opened up the hood. there's still some white smoke coming from under the intake manifold.


I narrowed it down to where the oil is coming from, most likely where the oil goes to the filter(stock location).

If I didn't tightened the metal oil filter adaptor fitting to the block, which I highly doubt it..

what could it be? my engine light hasn't turned on, motor runs fine but am i burning off exess oil to the atmosphere, I just don't know where to look.


if you guys can help me out, those who installed the kit by Greddy.

I probably don't even need that and just put it back to stock....

 

If you're sure it's coming from under the intake manifold, it might be from the oil filter housing. Did you tighten it down properly? Is there any o-ring on the backside of it that got pinched or is missing? Oil might be dripping down to your exhaust pipe and burning off.

 

yesterday I went under the car while the car was on the jack and the oil filter fitting block area was free from oil.
I think once the car starts to accel(throttle cable pushed in) it starts to burn oil from there.

I'll have another look. I know I haven no pictures and sorry about that.

No idea, but someone mentioned trying teflon tape?

 

Do NOT use Teflon tape. If that stuff gets into the oil flow, bad.

 

everything is as tight as it can be.

i tripple checked it.

one more try. i will try tomorrow again to see if things are tight.

it's very weird that this is happening right after I installed this relocation kit.

could it be that I blew my headgasket? can smoke come from the oil filter housing area bc i have a blown headgasket?

i hope not... er...
