2001 Subaru Forester.
I changed the engine. Because I was a stubborn idiot, I screwed up and pulled the torque converter with the engine (Yea, don't do that).
I do not have a garage, and I left the converter outside uncovered for a couple of weeks.
Got new to me $150.00 junkyard engine with 62K on it installed no problems. New oil, new plugs boom running.
100 miles in and my car start smoking heavily and catches on fire. I pull over, pop the hood, put out the fire. Oil is pouring out of the vent tube coming from the top of the tranny.
I tow it home, change tranny oil & filters. Fill it back up. Warm it - all is fine. Drive off and within 3 miles smoke starts pouring out again.
I've completely changed oil twice (thinking there is water trapped in the torque converter) and still this is happening.
I created a air/oil/water separator that lets me run it kinda ok, but I till have oil coming out that vent.
Anybody have any thoughts?
