Hi Sir,
I just bought a second hand from a private sale. Now every time i start it (Toyota Camry Csi 1997 v6, 3000cc), there is black smoke coming out from exhaust pipe! but last only for 3 seconds then no more smoke, but it will happen again after a few hours of parking it.
I then did a visual check on the engine side and noticed a slight leak from beneath the rocket cover.. how do i determine the exact point of leakage?. cos the top is covered up by many other parts..
Is it serious problem?. can i just leave it alone?..cos no money to repair..
How much does it cost to repair?.. and what's to be repaired?
Thanks alot
The black smoke is not a problem, it just means that there is a rich gas mixture in the motor to start the car from cold.
This is normal with a cold engine...
Sometimes there is a seeping of oil from old rocker cover gaskets.
If the oil is not running out in a trickle. Don't worry about it...
Wipe the oil away with a rag and see if it comes back soon.
Check the oil level on the dipstick regularly and you should not have any trouble...
This is serious problem u have to take care of it immediately. here u have diluted fuel may be...
