What would cause this???

 

Do you mean smoke coming out of the valve cover nipple?

Blown/damaged piston ringland could cause it to smoke.

 

Yea, out of the valve cover nipple. Just a little bit of smoke on startup.

 

Little smoke? Probably early case of blow-by. Just to warn you, it can only get worse...

 

do a compression check to find out how your internals are doing asap.

Ahhh the same thing happened to me today except smoke is poring out of my valvecover. did a compression test 200, 200, 100, 200 !!!!

What can I say I was getting on it just a little bit and all of a sudden I felt more power than I ever felt...wheels were spinning like crazy at the top of 4th looked at my boost guage and it was nearing 20psi. I let off the gas, got off at the next exit and all of a sudden smoke is coming from everywhere!!!

I guess the built motor is going in sooner than I thought.

****! That sucks hard-core. Any idea why it pegged 20psi? Thats always been a huge nightmare for me.

 

don't drive the car until you get compression test done..

 

But no smoke comes out of the Oil cap or anywhere else on the engine..

 

Compression and leak down test my friend. That smoke is never good.

 

rings are gone

maybe you could have also blown an headgasket. check your radiator for black stuff.
