scoobiedubie Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Oil leaking out of the cam tower cover gaskets and dripping onto the exhaust cross pipe. You need to remove the cap and using new gaskets, seal them in with some high temperature gasket sealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgigante Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) Thats what I thought also so I cleaned the whole bottom of engine. Nothing is dripping onto exhaust. The car idles perfect. But if let idling for about 3min the smoke will appear. Its coming from the side of the valve cover. Not the bottom. Could it be the o ring?

elgigante Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 Also on my injectors, cyl 1 and 3 how do I know what injector harness goes where? I swap them and it still runs the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobiedubie Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 It isn't the "O" ring causing any smoke. Just clean everything with brake cleaner and see what effect that has. As far as the fuel injector harness, you would want to study the wires to see what their natural bends are telling you, as to which injector they attach to.
