ok, hes got a problem.. he recently stored his car about... 2 months ago, just before he stored it.. he did an oil change to 5W30, now that the car has been sitting he does start it, but very rarely...
the other day, we were checking out out... and we noticed something bad, the top of the oil cap was white/milky, and the pcv valve was clogged with this crap.
so we start the car run it for a good half hour take it for a drive... it runs perfect, doesn't overheat nada, we do notice however, its constantly making white smoke.. I don't know wether it was cold, or not but my mx-3 doesn't smoke at all, not even white smoke.. its very faint white smoke (not much at all) and very thin, anyways we shut the car off... popped off the pcv valve.. no more white crap, we check the oil (looks clean/gold)
and we notice theres not as much of this crap on the oil cap,
so whats goin on! my friend thinks his head gasket is toast... but I don't know I had one go on my old cavalier and it ran like crap!! his car is runnin perfectly fine!
btw this is a 93 gs aswell... do you guys think the white milky stuff came from the car barely being started or what? is his engine toast?
