First let me say that I have posted the below thread in a Chevelle site but still value the opinions here.
I took my 1970 Chevelle SS 396 out today and I thought I was running rather well. All of a sudden I was blowing LOTS of smoke out the rear from I believe both sides. I pulled over and saw noting leaking and my mechanical gauges indicated oil pressure and engine temp were fine. I got the car home and the smoke seemed to minimize and then disappear at idle. I let the car sit for a bit and it leaked nothing before I put her in the garage. When she was warm but not cold I checked the fluids and all was OK. No signs of oil in the water or water in the oil. All coolant and fluid levels are spot on. Engine is NOT making any noises but did puff smoke on second start up. What gives? What should I be checking??
Thanks
