Grey smoke

Post by **94Q45Beast** » Sun May 31, 2015 10:52 am

I just got done changing the valve cover gaskets, and I fired it up and there was heavy grey smoke from both banks, towards the fire wall, all the valve cover nuts a nice and tight, any ideas on what could be happening, smoke is coming from the TCS Actuator area and the EGR valve area.

Oil on the exhaust manifolds?

I checked for that and I didn't see any on the left bank where it was smoking heavily

If you see nothing else wrong give it time and a test drive, it is oil from the VC job, either that or there is a new leak...

ok there still is grey smoke...a lot of grey smoke.....but the oil level hasn't changed at all. and I can see the exhaust manifold drenched in oil as what the dealership told me when I got my exhaust checked out. except the oil doesn't feel slick. and could bad shocks and struts make the Q fishtail/drift on the road when turning a sharp corner when driving on or below the speed limit? or "hydroplane" when you drive over a small bump regardless of wet or dry roads?
