1. White smoke bellowing out of exhaust.

2. Major leak around passenger side of engine. I can see that everything under the passenger side of the engine is soaked with oil.

3. Clanking noise coming from under engine. Clanking keeps up with engine RPM.

4. Bad gas MPG around 13mpg

5. Tan goo on bottom of dip stick... wipe it off and it only comes back after more driving.
None on oil cap.

6. AND when i checked the coolent it was a medium shade of red and when i stuck my finger in it...on my finger not only was the 'red' but like...how do i explain...their was a small stream of darker red dripping off my finger as well. (Very small) Basicly its not a SOLID red color when it drips off my finger. OIL IN THERE???

My car has 108,200miles.

Please help me out guys, my engine just doesnt seem to be running right. Im not even gonna drive it any where right now.

 

Gritty or gelatinous oil may indicate long stretches between oil changes. Thin, frothy oil that's the color of chocolate milk may point to a blown head gasket or to a severely damaged block or cylinder head. Fine metal particles in the oil indicate internal damage or heavy wear.

Puff of white smoke upon start-up is probably the result of condensation and not a cause for alarm. Black smoke after the car has warmed up indicates an overly rich air-fuel mixture--usually due to a dirty air filter, a faulty oxygen sensor, or mass-air meter (which measures the amount of intake air). Blue smoke indicates oil burning--a bad sign, requiring expensive repairs. Billowing white smoke indicates water in the combustion chamber, usually because of a blown head gasket, damaged cylinder head, or even a cracked block.

Knocks and pings while accelerating. These indicate bad ignition timing or an engine beginning to overheat.

 

thanks audimania. any one wanna help me with the clanking???

DAM i hope this aint TOO bad.

How do i steam clean my engine???????????

 

What should i do for all this??

Im thinkin steam clean and compression check?

Any more input guys??

 

99% sure its a blown head gasket. the gasket isnt expansive but if you dont do it yourself it will gost you ALOT. if you do it yourself you gotta be pretty good with cars and it will take alot of hours.. especially on an audi

 

The oil is getting into the coolent and oil doesnt mix with it so thats why its weird on ur finger. the smoke is cuz the oil is leaking into the cylinders and then gets burnt. cliking noise is probably the valves but i dont know how that would have anything to do with the head gasket. what type of engine you got?

 

agree with all of the above... has timing belt water pump etc. been replaced?

 

How would that cause oil in the coolent though?

 

dont quote me on it lol im not sure at all but i think that if the timing belt craps the bed it could warp or mess up your heads in some form which could in a sence cause the oil to be mixed with coolant... i am probably wrong but the little information i have gathered on being an audi owner over these past few months kinda leads me to that opinion..

 

but thats when it snaps, and if it snapped then the car wouldnt be running right now. The gasket is actually what im most worried about with my b5, I really dont want to change it, EVER, its such a PITA.
