Smoke from catch can
Started noticing it a little bit of smoke from the catch can. No real other symptoms, But the engine Bay smells a little bit like coolant.
Is there any way that a blown head gasket could cause smoke from a catch can? If so can someone explain how because I'm just not getting it lol |
Anybody?
|
Is there coolant in the engine oil? And are you sure its not blowby pushing out of the catch can?

Also wondering how tf there could be smoke coming up thru the intake runners? There's nothing down there that vents that im aware of? |
Can you post a picture of your engine bay/catch can setup?

1 : new valve cover/ spark plug gaskets 2: new ap2 retainers and keepers 3: oil change 10W40 high mileage valvoline 4:crushed a 2020 panamara 4s to 140mph |
really looking for help on this one someone!

Well it sounds like blow by to me. You shouldn't be getting any smoke/vapor coming from the catch can no matter what it is, and if you are, I assume also coming from the front valve cover breather since its all connected. If its moisture/coolant (depending on how much) you would eventually start to see signs of it in your sump and valvetrain if you were to pull your valve cover off. But just like blow by gasses - oil and unburnt fuel) Coolant could find its way out into the breathers if the HG is breached and coolant is getting into the combustion chamber and being pushed out with blow by gasses rather then just burnt. So in that case it would have to be a blown HG and piston rings both. Might want to do a comp test since easy and see how the numbers look. Hopefully motor is ok.

That catch can seems way to small and it also looks like you got an outlet connected like an inlet.
Just an observation, it might not be a serious problem at all. Does it catch any fluid? |
