I'm restoring an 87 5.0 hatchback automatic and the car is hardly driven.
Today I fired it up and noticed light blue/grayish smoke seaping from the rear passenger side exhaust pipe. The smoke seems to seap out in spurts and then in larger puffs. I also noticed some condinsation dripping from both pipes but not too much. The car runs strong and idles perfect but I can hear a small ticking noise coming from rear passenger side of the motor. I'm not sure if it's a small header leak or if it's internal but I will focus on that this coming weekend.
For now, can anyone give their advise or opinion as to what could be causing the smoke to come out of just the passenger side exhaust pipe? I did a search on this forum, but not too much help.
Thanks,
Tony
By the way, the engine is bone stock other than a few small add-ons, such as MSD 6A ignition control, MSD coil, ford racing 9mm wires, msd cap and rotor, 140AMP alternator, Optima battery, UPR cold pipe, BBK headers, X pipe and flowmasters.
