: Well, I cleaned up the oil mess as much as I could. Drained what was left of the engine oil. Dropped in 4 quarts of 10w30 Royal Purple and a new Nissan oil filter. Then cleaned the front valve cover and front side of the engine with some engine cleaner and rinsed it with water. Anyway took my Max for a test drive, it drives fine with no indication of overheating. However, it is still smoking. This time I notice the smoke is coming from around the engine block somewhere around the front exhaust manifold area. I don't think that the smoke is due to left over oil residue. The smoke seems to be issuing from this area and it smells like burnt oil. : It looks like I have a head gasket problem and maybe problems with the piston rings too. What do you all think?
then wash it out and shoot compressed air to dry it good. it shouldn't smoke too much after that. then asses your leak situation. maybe the smoke is just old oil left over.
good luck.
