Is my SR good to run? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So I smashed my car last far and just parked it. Front end collision that ruined the rad support, but the rad and everything behind that is fine. Rad doesn't even leak. Fixed it these last couple weeks and started it today.

She ran fine for about 2 min. at which point I noticed that it was spitting oil out of the exhaust... The front end of my truck is now speckled with oil... I had all the seals replaced and the engine remachined about 60miles before I crashed so could hat still be oil from last fall?

It's probably just soot from the exhaust... not oil.

I noticed it a long time ago when I revved my engine right in front of my dads car. I wiped it off before he could notice.
