oil liquid oil???? (like a river of oil; really)or just smoke. that is real bad deal that.
coming out of what. try to be clear. dripping off CAT dripping out exh. ports. dripping out tail pip end. where. (exactly where) or show a photo. here.
I SEE 2 POSTS (my guess, 6ve1 enigne twin cam) with cop coil questions??? well,(no pun) when you remove them? any mech(tech) looks down that well holes and if full of oil , its VC time. if full of water, shoot your pressure waster guy. or if the boots are all melted and or look all nwith carbon, its NEW BOOT TIME
this is all basics of a tuneup with cares with cops. need a book> can show one,
VC means valve cover gasket SET , which includes the rings that keep wells DRY. not Viet cong, (i survived them mofos.)
You really need to give more details. Are you losing cooling liquid? In other words, does the vehicle overheat at any time, or do you have to replenish radiator water regularly?
Seeing water emitting from the exhaust is natural. Gasoline is a hydrocarbon compound, and it is the hydrogen in the molecules that explode in the combustion chamber when oxygen is drawn in from the atmosphere through the air intake and intake manifold, compressed in the engine and ignited by the spark. When hydrogen and oxygen are combined they release explosive energy, which is what makes the engine go.
These gases also form water when they combine, in the form of steam, which is blown out through the exhaust system. The exhaust system is designed to allow the exhaust gases to cool down before releasing them back into the air, and if conditions are right, especially if the air is cool, the steam condenses to water which drips, or even sprays, from the exhaust. This is quite normal.
White smoke coming out of exhaust is water vapor. Blue is oil burning and black is carbon from unburned fuel.
U have water or coolant leaking into your combustion cylinders - not a good thing. Probably blown head gasket.
Check your oil - if it like a brown mud then the coolant has also gotten into the lubrication system.
It is most likely the A/C drain if you have been running your A/C system or have been using your defrosters. (normal operation)
Also, you may want to take a closer look and see if it is dripping from the exhaust. A normal by-product of the chemical reactions going on inside your catalytic converter is H2O. Most exhaust systems on modern automobiles are equipped with drip holes in the resonators and/or mufflers to help prevent severe corrosion of the exhaust system due to the water that is produced..
First things first - your rear main seal is worth replacing if you plan on keeping your rig. (Sounds like your friend doesn't want to get roped into doing the work) Rear mains wear for all kinds of reasons - something as simple as using cheap oil.
Your exhaust leak you're going to need to get under with gloves and feel pipe(s) at flanges etc... if you don't feel up to it, have a good muffler shop look at it.
Lastly, you have a rear trans seal leaking which is blowing trans fluid back on driveshaft. It's another job you might have a shop do.
chech the fuel pressure regulator,its black incolor and has a vacuum line to it.It will be in the fuel rail.start the van and pull off the vacuun line, if fuel comes out its bad.
