Car is burning/leaking oil, ls1 guys need your OPINION! Ok, let me start fresh, the other thread was alittle jumbled
Aight fellas, here's the scenerio. I have a 04 GTO w/ an ls1. If i am on a on ramp or off ramp that basically keeps me turning the car to the right hence making it lean to the left, when coming off the turn/lean and apply throttle my car starts smoking (assuming oil from look and the smell after pulling over). Happened to me 3 times, been told by two different shops that just to keep driving it til it happens again, b/c at the time problem can't be duplicated when showing it to the shops. Well happened a 4th time, I take it back to backus (backsux) pontiac and put it on rack. We find that the drivers side valve cover is leaking, only can be spotted from underneath, slow leak but not sure if thats inducing the smoke, they were slight puzzeled but again it is leaking oil from what they see.
Anyways any of you guys have some input based on what factors/conditions that are involved when it starts smoking?
