    White smoke and oil leak

    Hello everyone,

    Recently I replaced the crankcase gasket and after a while I was seeing lot of white smoke from exhaust after the car was idle for a while (only when hot and idle).

    Before the replacement I didn't have any smoke problem.

    So I decided to check visually for anything weird.

    So I saw a major oil leak under the intake.

    Any ideas?

    White smoke out the exhaust usually means coolant got into the crankcase and is now being burned off.

    Change the oil and see if it still happens.
