So just the pickup on the wheels again after lowering and exhaust change.
Its an 04 RC paxton sc.
What should the paxton produce in boost?

Anyway, the real problem is its leaking oil almost constant it seems.
There are to tubes from the back top on the engine that runs down under the car.
Looks like some excessive oil spill thing, dont know what its called :p

Whenever i wot its smokes down the whole street with white heavy smoke.
When i idle the car or drive it slow its smokes from the front of the car. So i imagen the oil drips down and on to the exhaust.
Its almost constant, like driving up to my house there a long hill and the car smokes here to. Seems to me whenever the engine gets load it smokes more..

It didn't do this before changing parts so something has happened.
Not touched anything engine wise besides the new Air/fuel gauge, its not functioning like it should as its one wire i haven't connected yet. (need to figure out where it needs to be) But i can't see why this would f*** the engine..?

The AEM controller was in the car with a different gauge, i just replaced the gauge.
Any suggestions?
 
Btw i can't see any leaking oil anywhere, when it idles it just smokes alit and then stops.
It just when the engine have to "work" it leaks it seems. :confused::confused::confused:
 
Remove the rear view mirror and drive WOT. :chain:

Seriously, mine has always smokes at WOT---but figure it is set to run a little rich at WOT for protection. At 113K miles all is well.

Smoking up front is oil leaking then burning. Are ya having to add much?
 
valve covers leaking? with boost there is pressure in the crankcase the PCV hoses should probably go to a catchcan. is it full and overflowing? Oil fill cap doesn't seal very well either. Check sparkplugs after overnight sit.
 
My quad cab use to smoke when my 0-ring on oil cap was bad under wot driving,like pressure was building up oil would run to exhaust headers and smoke,also valve cover bolts in the back seem to always loosen up, I torque the valve covers every other oil change.
 
Definitely see if you are loosing oil by checking it constantly. Sounds like you have blow coming out of the valve cover breathers. Next thing you need to determine is if it's excessive. From what you say it doesn't sound good.

Replace the oil cap seeing they all leak eventually.

Blow by (a mixture of oil & air from pressure leaking past the piston rings. Not a slang term for drugs). Lol

Make sure you get a Mopar oil cap. They don't sell the O ring separately.
 
I think you should stop running it! and do a compression test. you have a piston sealing problem.Ring lands break ! You risk Major damage!

Start with a compression test then do a leak down test. Take note if you have air escaping from the crank case. That video doesn't look good. Definitely stop running/driving it until you find the problem. If you have a broken ring land (and I think you do) on even 1 piston it will only get worse.
