70039, Quick question about burning oil
Posted by EclipseRST, Mar-06-04 07:26 AM
When you burn oil is there ALWAYS oil on the spark plugs? I'm trying to figure out if my exhaust smells like oil at all but I can't really tell the difference between regular exhaust and exhaust with burnt oil. And yes, I'm aware of how dumb this question sounds.

the smoke will have a blue tint if you are burning oil

Yeah I didn't see any blue so I thought I might just be burning a very small amount.

You're totally right. I'm just paranoid about this stuff because I'd really like to catch it early if something does happen so it doesn't get worse and cause a lot of damage. I'm such a puss. But hey, thanks for the replies guys.
