RPMs increase while on the brake Havent drove my car in about 2 weeks. Jumped in it today and it really started acting funny. While at a stop light my RPMs started to increase while my foot was on the brake. Oil levels were jumping up and down as well.
Acceleration wasnt as good as it usually is.
Once I got home I could also see smoke (exhaust) coming into the car. Check under the car and smoke was coming from the pipe exhaust near the passenger door.Pipes looked wet as if it had oil or maybe tranny fluid on it. Not sure where to start first.

Okay I checked under my car and I do have an oil leak. So Im thinking when Im driving the dripping oil may be flying back to the exhaust ( but not positive). It is oil.
Now why would my RPMs start increasing when Im at a stop light with my foot on the break as well as my oil temp gauge?

Yep sounds like a vacuum leak causin the RPM to increase when the brakes are pulling vacuum and oil gauge to bounce around. I'm puttin money on an intake leak...
