Re: [T3] Smoke?


GeraldR=> I just noticed there was like a grey smoke out
=> of my exhaust when I revved up my engine.

Grey would be oil, most likely. How many miles on the engine?

=> I get a terrible exhaust smell coming out of my defrost
=> ducts. Its doens seem to be coming out of my heater holes

If the system is tight and connected correctly, air goes only from the
heater boxes and fan to the heat outlets, then to the defrost outlets, so
there's nowhere for exhaust to get in *after* the heat outlets. Exhaust in
the heat system isn't unusual, however, so I'd be inclined to recheck your
data on the heat outlets. As a source, check for a loose or leaky connection
at the joints between the large heat exchangers and the muffler, allowing
exhaust to backflow into the tin exchanger case.
