Right not sure where to begin so bare with me...
i have owned my dream car (16 years of dreaming) for around 2 weeks now, until about a week ago i was in love,
Then it took a turn, The car would sometimes hesitate and then plumes of smoke would come from the exhausts,
Hard to pin point the smell or colour. but i would say a light grey. would only happen every so often, didnt have a specific entrance, could be still in traffic or halfway through a run on the motorway with no throttle change.
Then the last few days it smokes more often and sometimes heavier, sometimes cured by flooring it for a couple of seconds. well i noticed oil was getting low so topped up until i can service her later this week...so im driving down the motorway and the low engine oil light comes on...get off the next stop and get robbed by a shell garage for a litre of oil...this was last night, it took me to the halfway on dipstick mark which i thought would last...it came on again today but has been smoking more today.
There is zero leaks around the engine that i have found as of yet.
iv cleaned the pcv valve incase it was a cause, no change so far (and it rattles so im guessing its okay? and airline flowed through well enough)
i put a new air filter in today as mine was black and wasnt sure if it was being choked or anything at all
not sure if its a bad thing or not but theres nothing much at all online to help me, just shows they are reliable lol.
Be Gentle with me its my first Jap V8, last car was 1zz celica and even that didnt drink a litre overnight lol
sorry its a novel i wanted to cover what ground i could.
