My car is 1996 Ford Escort, 1.9 SEFI, dropped valve seat in May. Engine is rebuilt with a new head, 2 new pistons, all new rings. Starts and runs.
BUT oil is leaking somewhere right behind exhaust manifold. I can't find the leak. It is smoking and smells of burning oil. I checked PCV valve area and head gasket but can't find it!
Any ideas? The smoke is so thin I can't get video. But it is right in front of #4 cyl. No crack in block. Seems like oil is hitting the cat. So confused!
