Hello All,
I have a 2004 PT WITH TURBO T.EDT. It has 149,00 miles on it. Lately the check engine light comes on, and the oil light flickers off/on. now as of yesterday the car blew white smoke on start up, and everytime thereafter on start up. I did hear a strain when pulling uphill checked the oil and all was full. Could I have a blown gasket ? Will probably take it to the mechanic since I don't want to breakdown on the side of the road, ![]() but your advice is most welcome. Thanks |

White smoke either means water in the fuel. Or antifreeze in the combustion chamber.
Is the smoke sweet smelling? I would say to get a compression check and throw some Iso-heet in the gas tank :-) |

I like Busted's answer. Also, with that mileage, I would do an oil pressure test with a mechanical gage @ cold idle and @ hot idle.
Sniff it first. There are days I'm not too proud of myself. |

Thank You Guys,
I am taking all advice and do just that. I will start with Busted advice, then follow pulminators. if that doesnt get it. I'm not sure if the smoke is sweet smelling or not. I'll have to have someone else sniff it. ![]() |

Ok Guys,
Got the oil resending unit replaced.Oil light now off. Replaced PCV hose it had dry rotted, went to three different locations for the valve. Advanced auto, Autozone and Nappa. It was not the correct one.Finally ordered from the dealer it will be here tomorrow. Problem is it's worse. Oil is coming from the tailpipe, it smokes after driving a few miles. Oil resending unit tightened but I'm losing oil now. Anybody else experience this? |

If you put that new hose on the old pcv it could make it worse. So maybe disconnect till you get the Pcv. ![]()
