Oil in Exhaust - Hyu Excel 1991
I have oil fumes coming out of the exhaust. Some time back I replaced
the rear main seal (not connected with fumes I suppose) and spent quite a bit of money on that. My mechanic tells me its better to replace the engine than to overhaul it (It has 97k miles on it). However, since I have spent quite a bit of money to get the rear main seal fixed, I would like to extend the life of this engine if possible. Can anyone offer me tips on what could be the problem here and whether its worth the cost? |

Re: Oil in Exhaust - Hyu Excel 1991
It could also be poorly sealing piston rings (for one reason or another).
Any way you look at it, it's not likely to be inexpensive unless it's pcv related. |

Does it smoke out the exhaust when you take your foot off of the throttle
(valve guide seals) or when you step on the gas (rings)?? Seals would not be so expensive as the rings.

Another sign of bad valve guide seals is that it smokes badly when you take off after idling, such as at stop lights. |
