Well I started up my car and went for a ride around the block,
when I got home I see my engine was smokeing
so I open the hood and all I see is a grip of white smoke.
I look under the car and see oil leaking all over
looks like it is leaking from some where between the fire wall and the engine.
What do you think it could be?
Well I am thinking it might be the head gasket
but I am not sure, how do I check that?
 
white foam on oil cap, white foam on rad. cap,oil in water,water in oil,compression test is how u could tell a head gasket but its probubly rear main seal or oil pan.
