Does anyone know how to stop a head gasket from leaking oil? I know it's not blown, it doesn't overheat. Just oil leaking and falling onto exhaust and smoking up.
If anyone has any suggestions that would be great, thank you!
P.S I added the Lucas engine leak stop thingy and it worked a little but took my car out to run errands and you could see smoke coming up again.

 

what's the millage?

why you blame gasket and not bad rings or valves or even valve cover seals around spark plugs?

Oil in exhaust means smoke is black. Water in exhaust means smoke is white.
If there is a leak between water and exhaust you will be able to smell exhaust in the coolant tank and will be able to find traces of water in the oil.

 

He didn't say smoke was coming out of his exhaust... there is oil dripping from the engine somewhere above the exhaust manifold and its dripping onto it, causing the oil to burn off the manifold and smell really bad and smoke. I am experiencing the same problem with my 06 G35 Coupe. I recently swapped the engine bc of a spun bearing and everything is perfect except for an oil leak I have that keeps dripping onto the lower part of my exhaust manifold right before the flange that goes to the cat pipes. I hesitate to blame the head gasket, but I highly doubt that its my valve cover gaskets because I just replaced them and the area around them looks dry.

 

Get an inspection mirror and a good flashlight so you can see EXACTLY where it's coming from, no sense speculating where it MIGHT be coming from when it's easy to check.
