sooooooo i changed my upper timing cover that appears to have stopped the leak or at least drastically lessened it...
this morning about 20 miles into my 30 mile commute i noticed the idle had dropped about 200 RPMS lower than usual and i smelled something in the cabin, the closer i got to work the idle was pulsing and i had tons of white smoke coming out of the exhaust, so much that i had a coworker that was behind me follow me in and ask me what was wrong with my car because i was gassing him to death. I have had this car for the last 2 years (first time it has been driven in 0 degree temps though), never had an issue like this but what i don't get is i did not have a CEL at all. if i had a cylinder getting flooded or something screwy with my MAF i assume I would have had a CEL out of that but i had nothing. so at this point I am not sure where to look first. i've read about people having injectors sticking open and coil packs taking a dump but I just don't get why I would not have a CEL for something like that.
thoughts???
