Hello my fellow 3gers!
I noticed there is white smoke coming from my engine and smells like oil burning after running the engine for about 20 min. I have an 86 lx-i hatch. I recently changed the valve cover gasket too. I was hoping that it was leftover oil burning from the old leaky valve cover, but I've ran it for a whole week and the engine keeps smoking after a short drive around my neighborhood.
The smoke looks like its coming from behind the heat shield and I don't see any oil leaking from the spark plugs or around exhaust manifold. What can it be? An extra detail would be that I see the smoke coming around the left side of the exhaust manifold (like behind/under it) and there is no oil leaking on my driveway.
What do you guys think?
