HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 10/12/2007 9:24:57 AM    cool_kyle_3000   Posts: 51 Joined: 9/17/2006 Status: offline it runs hella bad and smokes and the oil temp is now running at 120. smokes bad. IT was 100% good till i put in more oil, same oil I have used for ever. comes in a brown jug, and i added 4 qt of tranny fluid to the tanny filler tubebecause it was low, stuff in the yellow bottles. Then all of a sudden it runs bad. I did spill some oil and a tiny amount of tranny fluid. Now the temp gauge for oil is higher. Before it was around 60-70 now 120. then when i start it the next morning it sounds fine.  after i drive it for like 5 minutes  a faint burnt oil smell is noticed.   Then I starts to smoke and sound like a desiel engine.  1992 audi v8q Post #: 1

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 10/12/2007 11:37:31 AM    cool_kyle_3000   Posts: 51 Joined: 9/17/2006 Status: offline Yes I am thinking it may be the oil because soon as i filled it the cars oil temp went up and it smokes and runs real bad.  so im going to change the oil.  after than should i clean anything specific in the motor?  It threw no codes < Message edited by cool_kyle_3000 -- 10/12/2007 11:41:19 AM > (in reply to techbod) Post #: 7

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 10/12/2007 11:40:57 AM    techbod Posts: 12536 Status: offline hmm hard to answer because you might have blown a gasket but running it for a while and the smoke stops would be good otherwise its a diagnostic/eye ball to see whats wrong and where its leaking _____________________________ Dave UK member (in reply to cool_kyle_3000) Post #: 8

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 10/12/2007 11:43:58 AM    techbod Posts: 12536 Status: offline good thing with the V8 is you can see what side the leak is and that's a saving _____________________________ Dave UK member (in reply to techbod) Post #: 9

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 10/12/2007 11:47:13 AM    techbod Posts: 12536 Status: offline this could be oil leaking through a gap in the exhaust and the heat would make the smoke so don't panic so much _____________________________ Dave UK member (in reply to cool_kyle_3000) Post #: 11

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 10/12/2007 11:50:22 AM    techbod Posts: 12536 Status: offline if the car starts ok and no smoke ill put it on the above^^ because its heat related ( engine warm = oil will burn ) so I would be looking for a leak _____________________________ Dave UK member (in reply to techbod) Post #: 12

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 10/12/2007 11:53:22 AM    cool_kyle_3000   Posts: 51 Joined: 9/17/2006 Status: offline But then why would the engine sound fine and then sound  like a diesel engine when it smokes (in reply to techbod) Post #: 13

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 10/12/2007 12:00:09 PM    techbod Posts: 12536 Status: offline the oil leak could be at the spark plugs because the cam cover could have blown a seal _____________________________ Dave UK member (in reply to cool_kyle_3000) Post #: 14

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 10/12/2007 12:15:29 PM    techbod Posts: 12536 Status: offline its a simple DIY remove the spark plug leads and see if the oil is built up over the spark plugs if yes the oil is leaking, cam cover gasket is easy to replace _____________________________ Dave UK member (in reply to cool_kyle_3000) Post #: 16

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 10/12/2007 12:18:11 PM    cool_kyle_3000   Posts: 51 Joined: 9/17/2006 Status: offline ok ill take out the spark plugs and look for oil on them.  I hope that is what it is (in reply to techbod) Post #: 17

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 10/12/2007 12:31:02 PM    techbod Posts: 12536 Status: offline remember its an oil build up pressure linked with engine heat _____________________________ Dave UK member (in reply to cool_kyle_3000) Post #: 18

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 10/12/2007 12:42:49 PM    cool_kyle_3000   Posts: 51 Joined: 9/17/2006 Status: offline i did a search to buy a new one and all I got was valve cover gasket.  where do i buy that gasket (in reply to cool_kyle_3000) Post #: 21

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 10/12/2007 12:42:39 PM    techbod Posts: 12536 Status: offline so lets look at this problem in a different way, engine cold means all liquids are the same temp? engine hot means all the components expand ( tranny being your biggest enemy ) because ATF fluid almost doubles it capacity with heat so when you filled the tranny was it too much _____________________________ Dave UK member (in reply to techbod) Post #: 22

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 10/12/2007 12:43:39 PM    cool_kyle_3000   Posts: 51 Joined: 9/17/2006 Status: offline i filled 4qts  because it was almost dry in the stick.  i did a search to buy a new one and all I got was valve cover gasket.  where do i buy that gasket.  how could adding oil and tranny fluid kill a gasket? < Message edited by cool_kyle_3000 -- 10/12/2007 12:45:04 PM > (in reply to techbod) Post #: 23

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 10/12/2007 12:46:32 PM    techbod Posts: 12536 Status: offline did you fill it as I said in my previous post # 2 _____________________________ Dave UK member (in reply to cool_kyle_3000) Post #: 24
