smoke coming outa engine

recently i been driving my car.... and i would smell this smoke.. and today i poped my hood after driving and smoke was coming outa my engine.. i dont know what the problem could be.. except its been about 6000 since i changed my oil last.. i have been trying to change it but im getting my vortech installed so i dont want to have to change my oil again.. also i pulled out the oil stick.. and i couldnt put it back in.. cuz the tip got damaged.. so i have been driving without the oil stick in.. does that matter??? my car is 06 with 30k miles so i hope its nothing serious..

The oil is shooting out from where the dipstick was and burning on the engine block. Look on the inside of the hood about where the dipstick would be to see if any is there. I would check your oil and get a new dipstick before doing ANYTHING else..

^^+1 I can agree with you on that. If this is how you are driving and maintaining your G you really do not meed any FI. Oil changes are one of the key responsibilities in owning a car...unless you have another 4k plus to shell out on a new motor. Your engine is smoking because oil is touching the hot motor causing it to smoke. Check your oil and get a dipstick for your car

Go figure, leave an opening in the engine while you drive and you get smoke eh?

Why not cut off the damaged portion of the dipstick and put it back in to plug the hole and go to the dealer and get another dipstick?
