old cars show signs of age..its letting you know its time to look for a replacement..they smoke due to wear on the high milage parts inside and internal pressures are blowing out past the seals...time to go bye bye..
If your after market turbo is blowing oil into the engine, best you have it removed. When you say that fuel may be leaking into the cylinders, it could be leaking fuel injectors. If the smoke out of the tail pipe, it's usually indicator of burning coolant. Blue smoke is indicator of fuel and black of oil.
to examine this firstly buy some degreaser, clean the engine so the location of the leak can be pin pointed, take it to anothe mechanic for a second opinion {always the wiser move}, always into saving money. Good luck
For the most part it sounds half way accurate. First of all telling you that it needs to be fixed within 5 to 6 months, in my opinion was a scare tactic used to try to get you to approve the work. Because no one can say it will last this long or that long, there just no way of knowing. I have personally never seen oil leaking into the coolant, in my experience it is always the coolant leaking into the oil. However this is a concern because if coolant is or starts leaking into the oil, it will mix and the oil will lose its ability to lubricate and the engine could seize up eventually (not "blow"). Now then on some model vehicles coolant does run through the intake manifold but I have never seen oil run through the intake. This is were they are indicating they are leaking together. My guess is you have a coolant leak in the intake manifold and the engine is burning the coolant when it runs. Now then my suggestion would be to take it into a different shop and get a second opinion. Tell them the other shop said it will cost 750.00 and that's to high. In these economic times 99% of shops will beat that price to do the work. Also this isn't work that a dealership needs to do, any half way decent shop can make the repairs. I wouldn't take it into a dealership because I feel there labor rates are too high. Any way good luck and I hoped this helped.
hi, oil leaking down into the spark plugs causing problems, in the 4.6 the plugs go way down from the top and can get full of oil, pull one boot plug up and out inspect one at a time to see how bad the oil leak is. it needs gaskets but should be okay to go back and forth once, needs valve cover gaskets now..jm
that i call it the $2000 gasket where the filter screws that on the oil cooler on top of that round oring worth $6.00 1 hour labour and new filter i call it $2000 because when that gasket break most of time people dont notice it all the oil leak out and engine blow fix that as soon as you can because when its start pissing bye bye motor good luck pierre
Major issues with the 2.7L motor. design flaw causes oil to hang in the heads and "cook" creating sludge. Sludge builds until the passage to the timing chain is blocked starving the chain and causing near instant failure...this is a "rattling" or Roulette wheel sound. The 2.7L is an "interference" type engine. When the chain breaks or jumps, the cams stop in position thus leaving the valves wherever they may land. The pistons keep on moving though....and kiss whatever valves happen to be open. Bye Bye Motor. Using Synthetic oil EARLY and exclusively cures the sludge issue. Replacing the timing chain and components at interval is crucial...don't wait for it to break or jump!
