toronto,
hey guys,
i recently had valve cover crack problems and i used jb weld to cover up the cracks but there seems to be oil coming out of a screw on the valve cover and theres no cracks around it. it bubbles out out the corners of the screw i didnt tighten a lot coz it will crack again...
not only that but when i started the car and revved it sooooo much smoke coming out of the muffler....its white smoke? i dont know why that is happeneing...maybe oil went into the plugs??? some help me out plz thanks

btw i had a 92 talon tsi
 
I'd just replace the valve cover it will probably keep crackign more and more. About the white smoke, that is most likely coolant. That isn't good. Now im not sure if a cracked valve cover would cause coolant to leak but I know a head gasket causes that. So change the valve cover, and see if the white smoke disappears. If not, do a compression test, then see if you need a head gasket or not.
 
update on situation....now the white smoke has stopped...the plugs had oil in em and i suppose all that smoke was from the bad plugs but i cleaned em and put em back in...now the smoke is blue and only can be seen when in full boost ....someone suggested turbo seals?????? does that mean i need a new turbo...
