Tonight i was out messin around with my car with a few buddies, and for the past two nights after running my car hard i see smoke coming from directly under the intake mani and it smells almost like oil or clutch i cant tell. but i noticed after a few runs i noticed my clutch not grabbing like it should and almost kind of slipping. but on the way home it wasent slipping at all! i think i have two problems here but i want some help to see where the smoke might be coming from help please!!!

 

Bump i need HELP! i have no possible clue where it might be coming from.

 

Your rear main seal could be bad causing oil to leak onto your clutch and then causing smoke after running it hard. You might also have a transmission front main seal go bad causing oil to leak onto the clutch, causing smoke. Pull the inspection plate on the transmission and verify if you have an oil leak in that area. Based on what you're telling us, this is where I'd start looking. You could also have the O-ring on the distributor leaking causing oil to run down the backside of the motor and either onto the exhaust, or again seeping into the clutch area. Good luck.

 

check for leaks. what kind of a motor is it???

 

its a d15b7 with a brand new dizzy

 

well there you go. always start by checking the things most recently done to the car= new distributor=not installed right=leaking oil onto exhaust and/or into trans area onto clutch.
