Too much oil pressure?

[chuck]

Isn't white smoke water? And blue smoke oil?

Sort of, white vapor is steam/water but white smoke is oil. Besides smell the oil smoke lasts longer in the air.

A bad PCV valve can cause smoke and or oil leaks and a lot of either. If the valve is not shielded from the oil the rocker throws up it will suck that oil up and make a lot of smoke. If the valve is blocked it can make pressure in the crank case and that will push oil out everywhere. Easy test, take it out and plug the vacuum leave the hole on the valve cover open, start it and look to see if there is a bunch of smoke coming out that hole. Yes= rings. The penotrating oil is a long shot but a cheap shot also. Also drive it around a little and see if it still smokes.

Thanks Chuck, i will give that a shot when i get home. on the driver's side valve cover, it is the standard little PCV valve. on the passenger side, it goes to the JAZ canistor with the filter element on the top. I will clean that filter and see if that helps too.
