Help with finding where oil leak is coming from / white exhaust smoke
Help with finding where oil leak is coming from / white exhaust smoke
places I see oil residue around ... ( oil filter ) , (oil filter tube)
(oil pan ), (transmission pan) and valve cover driver side ... I’m still trying to figure out where the leak is coming from. Lately my last couple oil changes the oil light been coming on and I had to add 2 qts of oil in between ever oil change I been doing so the oil consumption I’m aware of .
i also see white smoke coming from my exhaust which I’m not sure if it’s associated with oil leak or something else.
at idle it’s blowing out and when revved up its more than comes out

Please tell me you had jackstands supporting the vehicle and not just that service jack.
As for the oil leak, buy the UV dye leak detector, pour it in the oil, run the engine for 10-15 minutes until it's hot. Get the black light going (preferrably doing this in the evening/night) and see where it's leaking from.
Inspection mirrors and a strong flashlight work well also.

You should also get the pinch weld adapter for the service jack and use the listed jack points so you don't screw up your unibody.
Or use the actual front/rear service jack points.

White smoke generally means blown head gasket! Is there any water dripping from your exhaust? Oil leak quite possibly valve cover gasket and check your PVC valve! Pull it out, make sure it rattles when you shake it! If not, simple cleaning with carb cleaner will free it up...Gary
