95 camaro oil leak causing smoke - Cars & Trucks

Check engine compression. It is possible for water to be leaking into a cylinder and not be leaking into the oil.

Blue smoke = burning oil

Bad gasket. Valve cover gasket is pretty likely. If it's also running badly, it MAY have thrown a rod.

Check that the oil leakage from the engine or gear if the engine that change the oil seal with mechanic.

Sounds to me like oil got spilled onto the engine and exhaust manifold. I had to get an oil filler extension to keep that from happening when I changed the oil in my '96. Otherwise; No matter how careful I was, some oil always got spilled and then it would be a few days of driving and some smoking before it all dried up.

Have you looked things over carefully under the bonnet?

Have you looked things over carefully under the bonnet for evidence of a BP event.. Oops! I mean evidence of an oil spell?

RAy

broken transmission cooler line is a good guess

Where ever there's smoke, there's fire. This could be the multifunction switch arching and burning the lubrication in the assembly. Multifunction meaning, one switch that operates the turn signal wipers, cruise etc.

A "spray" is not a leak.. That sounds more a like an Oil Sending Unit .. Peep near the oil filter and look for a screw-in thingy with wires ( or wire ) goin to it.. Its unther the car near the front of the engine withing 6 inches of the oil filter

Hey take a look @ the lines coming from the bottom of the radiator . Tighten both lines @ each end of the radiator to stop leaks ... Also while your under there check to see if your oil sensor is leaking right on to your exhaust ... causing a lil smoke by the drip .

There are only two things that cause smoke, one is oil,the other is coolant, coolant has a really nauseating smell, most likely the oil is your smoke, it is caused by worn valve guides and or leaking valve stem seals, if it doesn't use more than a quart every 1000 miles I would not worry about it, how many miles on the car?
