hey guys this the situation today i made 100mile trip .. which is nothing for the car.. which is used to high speedmotorway driving
it is a eg6 b16a2 .

The car runs rich. and it use to smoke a little grey/white/blue smoke .. cuz of oil gettin in combustion..
Now the thing is. on the way i started to feel a heavy smell of burnt oil when going up hill.. Only uphill..
and when i stopped the car. the back bumper and window were all full of oil. and i mean Full...

Any ideas whats this about??

thanks

merry xmas everyone

 

Its time you figure out if its really oil or fuel. You'll need to perform a compression test and a leakdown test.

 

Post the CEL codes.

 

Right updating this guyz.
today i lifted the car had a little peak under the bonnet etc..
and i realized. it is not engine oil. its gearbox oil.
Which was dripping on the manifold. and i suppose with vibrations and wind speed it went all the way to the back.. strange never thought of it before. but as the car underneath is all shiny and greasy from front to back lol...
Now thing is. iv got a s9b gearbox with LSD
the oil is dripping only on one part of the box case. on the side of the shorter driveshaft. (Right)
The car is still driving fine. and all gears fit in perfectly no crunches nuthin
Tomorrow im gna get the box out and check whats up..
Any ideas if its any gasket or sealant or sumthin like that ? that probly got ruined.
i have broken quite a few driveshafts does that have any influence . cud it possibly like harmed the gearbox or the differential in anyway??

Thanks

 

probably axle seal.

 

What you're describing makes no sense. To spray that much fluid, regardless of what fluid it is, you would have a noticeable decrease in fluid levels, which would cause major problems. Step 1 for you right now is stop driving the car. Unless you feel like replacing a $1200 transmission, or overhauling the motor if you're wrong about the source, stop driving it. Step 2 is to check your fluid levels. Check your oil, your coolant, and your transmission fluid. Once you've checked all three, get back to us and tell us which one is low.

 

i was describing like how the car was before i stopped it. "driving with no crunches or noises"
the cars in the garage. im not driving it.. and im not that much of a newbie to know the difference of coolant and fluid. and i have checked all the levels. apart from gearbox as iv posted before i will check it tmorrow. when i take it apart

I read your last post. You also said your back bumper and window were full of fluid. I assumed you meant covered, but no matter how you read that, it doesn't make sense. There's no reasonable way for that much fluid to leak for it to get on your rear window and there not be an obvious HOLE somewhere. You also never said that you checked any of your fluid levels. On the plus side, if it really is leaking that much, it'll be easy to find the leak. Figure out which fluid is low, clean everything off, and then refill. It should start flowing right back out wherever the leak is.

 

Almost definitely, especially if you've been repeatedly replacing axles. As long as you haven't run it stupid low on trans oil before you noticed, you should be okay... jut fix it before you drive it again

 

Turns out it was the axle seal thanks spAdam & eghatch9295 & NotARaCist.

And as the driveshaft spins it was splashin oil onto the exhaust which was carryin it to the back and the wind brought it up...

thanksguyz

 

Yep, been there done exactly that.
