Oil on extractors

[vc commodore]

I agree with you, am I proud of what I wrote no, am I proud for sticking up for myself yes.

How many times do I see you's attacking other people, then the rest of you's hit the like button on that attack against the other person, that to me is a group bully attack and a coward act, so don't go throwing stones in glass house's.

My apologies to vc commodore.

I accept the apology, however the abuse was far from called for....I made a polite comment in relation to your answer and you launch abuse at me. Not necessary...

As for what you called me....Doesn't phase me...Been called worse....

If you can't see how it is possible then you clearly are as you say you are in your quote.


I personally think you are something different but I won't call you that, so go and grab yourself a magnifying glass some tweezers and pop a Viagra and go rub one out, because that's what you are

The top of the exhaust pipes are clean....The top of the tappet covers are clean....Fluid spray from either of the items you say, would result in the tappet covers and exhaust pipes being soaked in fluid....This is where I get my deduction from

My theory

Number 2 cylinder exhaust covered in oil 4 and 6 are dry on top but wet halfway down, power steering lines are in front and below cylinder 2 and while driving it's blowing onto number 2 and spreading around manifold, in picture 1 the chassis rail has lots of oil on it, that's my theory.

Just as a matter of interest a compression test won't show up any flaws with the Valley gaskets, only issues with Rings, Valves and Head Gaskets will present themselves. Valley gaskets are outside of the combustion chamber and thus won't show up.

The white smoke from the exhaust could be a blown head gasket.

Hi Keith,

absolutely true, but the OP states that he has valley weepage that's visible externally and a compression test just won't detect that.

Having a failed valley gasket will allow coolant to enter into the inlet port of a pot and thus once gone through the combustion process will reveal itself as white smoke out via the exhaust

I do hope for op's sake that this is all that is wrong with his car. It's a bad time of the year (not that there is ever a good time) with the holidays approaching to be spending money on a car.
