RE: Ask the Car Guy @socky June 13
I have a honda accord 2003 that is has alot of smoke coming out of it when ever i the car on. It also have a off sound as well but im unable describe sadly. But the last thing I took this car in for was a supposedly a oil leaking out the exhaust which was creating a dark residue in the pipe. Any information is helpful thanks in advance. @socky
If you have smoke when you start the car or when the car idles for a long time and then accelerates with smoke, then it could be that the valves need "valve stem seals". It is possible to repair it without complete tear down of the motor. It is no easy task to add or replace these seals. It requires removal of the camshaft and the use of a spring compression tool.
It could be more severe and you need to take the car to a mechanic to have a "compression test". This will determine if you have bad piston rings or a damaged valve.
Thank you!! I do appreciate the feed back
