[Mk2] [NA] white smoke and black liquid from exhaust

Post by Awilkinson75 »

have just started my MR2 MK2 G-limited up and there is an awful lot of whit smoke coming from the exhaust and also black liquid splutering from the exhaust, the wird thing is it is only coming out of the passenger side exhaust and not the drivers as well. Car is running fine apart from slight loss of revs when the black liquid spluters out, any ideas people?

Hows the oil level looking?

Had same sort of problem on a subaru, black liquid. Turned out to be oil and ran like crap, limped home in idle mode a 40mph from Blackpool after the big meet in 07. To this day I do not know what caused it runs fine now though :?

Get it to a good garage to be safe :thumleft:

White smoke may be due to the time of year, does it get any better once the car warms up properly, the oil is probably just the dirt from inside the exhaust mixed with the vapours that the engine produces, how does the engine perform on the road ?
