worn out muffler bearing
your car is burning oil.
You have to much oil in your fuel/oil mix
Is it a 2 stroke motor? If it is that's normal
My 2002 Saturn was out of oil, oil was replaced but when I cranked it and drove it black smoke came out of the muffler and a fan keeps running after the car is turned offf. Do I have a major proplem
Question please. I had just got my oil chaged on the weekend. and now my car sounds like my muffler came off. just wondering if it could have come lose, or ????
The problem I had was oil and gas flowed out the muffler on my snapper 11 hp lawn tractor. To fix it I had to drain the oil and get a new plug. The issue that caused it was I needed a shut off valve in the gas line to stop the gas frome running back into the engine and eventually getting into the oil causing it to gush out the muffler with a lot of smoke. It is an easy fix and it now runs as smooth as new. I hope this helps you
AnswerOne potential cause is too much gas. It may be running "rich". Your car may also be burning a little oil. White smoke is usually water or antifreeze. If you are loosing coolant from the radiator, it's probably a blown head gasket. If not, it is just condensation in the exhaust pipe that is evaporating as the pipes heat up. If the car is running too rich, the unburned gas will cause black smoke and burning oil smoke will be blue.
You can tell for sure if its water or oil be dropping a bit in a glass of water if it desolves it water oil wont
To change the muffler or exhaust in a Chevy Venture, jack up the vehicle and locate the muffler. Spray penetrating oil on the nuts and loosen muffler clamps. Replace with new.
make sure its actually oil and not a mixture of condensation and black carbon..does it feel oily or more watery? oil would usually get burned and cause a light blue colored smoke out the tailpipe
How much oil is "missing"?
your car is making that noise because your muffler needs oil and fume
