Probably a simple solution but wanna make sure.
Alright, dodge grand caravan 3.8. Year: 05'
Just broke 100k miles on this thing, last time i changed the plugs i noticed plug 2 had oil all down in it. I completely forgot about the problem cause i got side tracked with bad sway bar bushings. Anyways, what do you guys think is the cause of the oil leakage? It has gotten so bad that im blowing smoke when its cold, even is warm weather. There is also caked on oil and dirt on a lot of the parts down the front left side of the motor. Blown head gasket? Bad valve cover gasket? I want the best way to approach this before throwing a bunch of money in to it. Note: the smoke is white, but not enough smoke to be a completely blown head gasket. |

Re: Probably a simple solution but wanna make sure.
White smoke says you're burning coolant. Is the reservoir level going down? The oil sounds like a valve cover gasket.

Do a compression test on all clyinders and if you find any low psi do a leakdown test on those clyinders to see if the head gaskets are bad.
