Tech / General EngineIs your car making a strange sound or won't start? Thinking of adding power with a new combination? Need other technical information or engine specific advice? Don't see another board for your problem? Post it here!
My engine hydrolocked with fuel about half a month ago. Today, I finally got the car running since then.
I changed the Fuel Pressure Regulator, spark plugs, and the oil, then boom it started.
Now that it turned on and it's running it's throwing out a lot of smoke from the tail pipes and engine. It's also leaking a green fluid near the transmission.
What do i look at? What could the problem be now? Thanks in advance.
Looks like it toasted a head gasket. Time to pop the heads off and look inside. Might be a broken casting (block or head); let's hope not. Only one way to find out, and that is, take it apart and look.

From the looks of all that moisture on the bell housing it looks like something has been leaking a while...
