She's smoking :(

My 1985 Chevy Camaro (5.0L 305 V8 ) is smoking. It seems to be coming from the hood under the hood, i can see where, but not what it's coming from exactly. Also if i remove the dipstick it seems to smoke out of that tube. Yesterday I added Restore, that oil addidtive that's supposed to restore some hp among other things. Then I drove it maybe 1/2 a mile, no smoke. Today I drove it a mile, parked it for 4 hours, drove it another mile, then parked it for awhile, then drove it about 1/4 mile a couple hours later. On the way back from the 1/4 mile trip, it started smoking a decent amount.

Any ideas?

Thanks

sounds like a small oil leak

could also be a water leaK, but when it leaks do you smell oil or coolant?? like antifreeze

I'm actually nto sure i know what oil burning smells like, but i know it doesn't smell like collant in any way. I suppose it's probably oil.

Would one of the oil additives designed to stop leaks work?

i wouldnt suggest an oil additive, i say you should track down where its coming from and replace the gaskit

ok.... i've read that replacing gaskets is quite easy for do-it-yourself type people... true?

my bronco had a cracked valve cover (i will never deal with aluminum valve covers again) i tried fixing it with jb weld, worked for a little while, it started leaking again and caught on fire, good thing i had a fire extinquisher with me, took it off and jb welded the hole side just about cause im too lazy to get new ones,and its still holding up....

well it depends which gasket, a valve cover gasket yes, a head gasket no

nice lookin car by the way

thanks :)

well i'll take a look at it and see what i can do, thanks for the help

your welcome, good luck

exhaust manifold leak by any chance?
