Why is there smoke???

[olly]

it wouldn't be the head gasket..
he should be spitting out white smoke and lots of it.. check your engine oil, is it a milky colour? i should know.. my car just did a head gasket you sure its oil and not carbon deposits?

You didnt answer before.... is your oil level dropping with every day? By sounds of it, if spitting oil out the back it should be losing oil a fair bit. If there's no oil loss, I would think its the left over oil from the blown motor still burning off in the exhaust. If it is leaking oil, then you have a problem and take it back to the builder under warranty. What kind of oil are you using too by the way?

ive checked the oil everyday and its at same level!!
right on high on the oil stick!
i really should just wait till ive done a few more klms but its back at
the place it got re-built maybe im being paranoid but ive been stuffed around a lot with my car and its hard for me to trust any repairer.
im really hoping they find the issue soon.
ill keep you guys up to date asap

mind me asking who the repairer is? u can pm if you want.. if the oil isn't going down im guessing its just left over oil from the blown motor what EVO-00X said.. good luck with it!..

ps. we all get problems with out cars..
