Oil burning off in y pipe??

I know this is my 3rd post but I'm really lost now I have an oil leak behind the pulley above oil filter housing and now I found the source of the white smoke I topped off my oil and ran it for 10 mins trying to find the leak and noticed smoke from the y pipe would this be intake gaskets right??

sounds like a p/s pump leak, and maybe the tb is leaking coolant on the cross over pipe. or the valve covers are leaking.

best to de grease it all and keep an eye on the leaks. looking for a new clean trail of oil.

That's what I thought but it's engine oil on the ground

cold engine, take a paper towel or rag and wipe under the rear valve covers lip to the head, if it comes up wet with oil, the cover is leaking.

No oil there no coolant leak

I was referring to the y pipe that comes off the resonator I can see a wet spot on the under side of them as the spot is darker than the rest of the piping and the smoke/oil doesn't seem to make it to the muffler's just burns off after resonator under the car

theres no Y pipe till behind the gas tank. theres nothing to drip on the res area.


time to post pics of what your talking about.
