Hi all;
I changed my oil/filter last week and afterwards drove around for about an hour. Car ran fine nothing out of the "ordinary".
Yesterday I fired it up and after getting to Oper. temp I noticed a white/blueish smoke trail coming out of the exhaust. Smell is that lovely spent oil/fuel one. "Plume" increases with acceleration.
My first thought was a leaking head gasket, but it's not the puffy white cloud exhaust stream.
Oil is still nice and clean and @ the correct level, radiator cap is clean, coolant greenish color. No dark foam residue anywhere to be seen.
I did clean out my clogged CAT about a month ago, but this just occured after the oil change.
I keep coming back to the gasket or worn rings, any other possibilities one can suggest.
TIA, Steve
