I recently got my 91 gsx to work. Now when i go to drive it there is oil spitting out of my O2 housing "no exhaust on the car yet". And all this is followed by white smoke which i assume is the oil burning.? Please HELP ::cry:
 
You need to tell us more, if you can. Exhausts usually spit out condensation as a biproduct of combusion, so I wouldn't worry too much about that unless it is excessive. Also, if it is white smoke, that is generally caused by coolant burning and if it is darker, it usually is oil. If it is blue or black, there can be several things wrong with your setup. It can be turbo seal, valve stem seals, headgasket, etc.

As mentioned before, you need to do a compression test and a leak down test.

If you need some help, there is a local forum for Albuquerque. You might be able to meet up with someone that can give you a hand. :thumb:

OK it is more of a whiter smoke so most likely it the coolant. but there is an excessive amount of oil coming out of the o2 housing. i will check the turbo seals and get on that compression test asap. thanks for the help guys ill keep every1 updated :)
