Smokin 4.6

lapper · Jul 24, 2009

I have a very strange thing happening with my 99 GT. If I take a hard, very hard left hand turn, at full throttle, it looks like the car is on fire. Blue somke (oil smoke) comes from everywhere. It looks like I need a ring job. This does not happen in any other situation. I can be going straight, on the drag strip. I can be taking a hard right hand turn. No smoke. The harder the turn, the more smoke. As far as how hard a turn. Something over .7 g's. When I get home and look under the hood, there is no evidence of anything being wrong. I have no blower or nitrus. Just some bolt on's.

Any ideas would be welcome.

stop running at Daytona maybe?

are you losing any noticeable oil, any visible external leaks?

Almost sounds like oil is spilling out of somewhere and onto a hot exhaust manifold. If you could stop mid-turn and pop the hood, would you see oil smoke from under the hood or is it coming from the rear of the car? If it's just the rear, is it only coming out the tailpipes or is it coming out from under the car?

Any evidence of tire rub going on in the rear wheel wells or suspension? Perhaps the rear axle has a control arm issue (for example...) and during high-load situations, the body shifts over the axle leading to tire rub which could cause smoking.
