Hi all,
I bought a 1991 Dodge Spirit R/T a few weeks ago.
I just had it in the shop to get some minor stuff done (tune up).
However, as I was driving yesterday, all of a sudden it started smoking out of the exhaust (ie mosquito fogger):(
I know it is oil because the smoke is somewhat blue and it is dumping puddles of oil on the ground (out of the exhaust pipe).
Car still runs (barely) but has no power.
Talked to the mechanic, and he said that the head could have cracked which would be letting oil out through the exhaust.
Could be the turbo? (seals maybe?)
Any help or input would be helpful.
Anyone else ever seen this?:confused:
Thanks
