Hey everyone, almost two weeks ago, i changed my fuel filter (which was a horrible horrible HORRIBLE experience tongue.gif) and that same day, I seafoamed my car. I was getting white/blue-ish smoke before, which i contribute to an oil leak somewhere on the car... that and an exhaust leak. but now, the smoke is worse! redface.gif oh noes.... is this normal? will the car smoke for a while? or is the irregular?

thanks for your help everyone,

Soul

If you added the Seafoam to your oil you need to change your oil after a few hundred miles.

Now if you are getting blueish smoke while driving it's not because of an oil leak and has nothing to do with the exhaust leak, you have worn oil control rings around the pistons and that smoke is the oil that's getting past the rings and burning off the cylinder walls, the seafoam that's mixed with your oil is making it thinner and easier to get past the rings which is probably why it appears to have gotten worse.
