oil doesn't cause flames.
Petrol causes flames not oil.
Oil will cause smoke, blue smoke, petrol will cause black smoke.
It will most likely be petrol so theres nothing you can do and its normal.
if its blue smoke then it could be anything, my old chopped up blue hatch was quick when you ragged it then came to a standstaill the car would be surrounded in a blue haze, never any other time.
It can be the rings or the seals of indeed oil getting splashed through the breather pipes.
You will not know for sure until you take it apart. |
