So... this is my problem ,earlier i had a post aobut smoke coming from my exhaust , thought a few things could be wrong , still going to check everything just to be sure . But i thought about it . I havent drove my car since i blew the engien fuse other than to put it back in my garage with the new fuse .. I changed plugs + wires then took my valve cover off and RTV'd the gasket ... left it over night figured it was dry , start my engine today and drove about 2 blocks and smoke starts pouring out my exhaust when im decreasing speed and accelerating . So i turned around and went back home . The smell of the smoke i had never smelled before . Ive smelled coolant , oil , gas everything it normally could be and its none of the above . However I noticed the smells is ALMOST the same as RTV . I pulled my valve cover to find out the WTF was not even dry it was still tacky and easy as can be to wipe off , it looked like some spots were missing RTV though as if it fell into my head and in the oil . Could this be what is going on ? and what are the problems that could follow ?
 
yeah i was thining some of it either got into the turbo or somehow int othe pistols area . I'm not sure os im going to drain my oil to see if thers residue of it in the oil and check my head for signs of the rtv trailing down through it .
