stripe Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Folks, Last week or so since gettin the scoob back, I have noticed when I stop there is the odd puff of smoke coming from the scoop and vents, and the smell of burned oil. The new engine is running fine, better than ever, it's idling fine and aint overheating. Do you reckon it's just the rocker cover gasket? Just worried the engine is f****d again, totally paranoid now [][][]
Mako Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Stripe, I had exactly the same thing. was the right hand rocker cover gasket. not a big job and very common. Cheers Russ
stripe Posted July 20, 2006 Author Posted July 20, 2006 Forgot to add, lifed the bonnet, it seems to be coming from the driver side, which I know is the quite common for the gasket to go, it is a fine white smoke, not thick at all, and only seems to happen at idle
dougster Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 It may drip a little and burn on the up pipe. Mine smoked all the time but never lost that much oil. Looked mental at the lights!!!!!!!

FastScooby Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 my wrx done the same... turned out there was a wee bit too much oil in the engine... taken it back to 3/4 full and all is fine
