blankie55 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I posted about the timing belt yesterday. I got that problem taken care of. It was running good drove it around the block for the first time. When i bought it for $ 400 i got it stripped down to the timing belt. But when i got back i noticed some smoke coming from the back side of the engine. I need to top off fluids and check plugs and wires. If that doesn't fix it anyone have any ideas? Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum_Racing Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Chances are it's fluid leaking onto something hot, like the exhaust. When the car is smoking check under the car for the source. If it's coming from the exhaust, check the components under the hood for leakage. I'm not sure what a 95 looks like under the hood, but it could be anything from brake fluid to transmission fluid to engine oil coming from the rear main seal. Is this car the 2.2L engine, or the 2.5L? Is it manual or automatic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdubs Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 With it being a 95, I'd bet rear main seal. Haven't seen one from that year that hasn't leaked. Not a major issue, but yes, car will always stink while idle and after running it for a long period of time. Replacement involves you either remove the engine, or remove the transmission.

dmanaenk Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 ^ that or rear oil separator cover. Which is plastic for some reason for those years. 666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
