Leaking Oil

I'm not sure if any1 has already answered a question like this.

My b/f has a 95 eclipse...its leaking oil and its going to his exhaust causing smoke. Does any1 know where it mite be coming from?

if its going to the exhaust does any1 know where it may be coming from or how to fix????

it could eather be he has a blown turbo and/or blown piston rings when i blew my turbo it smoked like hell and if his rings are blown oil will get past the pistons causing smoke

Could be burnt valve(s) also, which would require a head rebuild. A couple of my exhaust valves went out on my 91 and it smoked like crazy.

tru tru didnt even think about that

he has a non-turbo eclipse...

ok then like we said up there non turbo cars have pistons and valves 90% chance thats what it is

alrighty...well that doesnt sound good..lol...

Doing compression and leak-down tests will pinpoint where the oil is leaking from. Instructions on doing those tests can be found at http://www.vfaq.com/index-main.html They're pretty simple, really. Told me immediately that I had valve problems.

Hope this helps.

tell him to take it some where b/c it MIGHT be something else you never know it wont cost to much now if he gets it fixed i personally would not drive it to much but thats just me i wouldent like smoking out the street

yea what he said
