[DML] Re: smoke

["TalksToGod" <5n-@xxxxxxx>]

It seems the oil sensors on the DeLorean were not calibrated
correctly, it is not odd to see an oil gauge blast past 80 and stay
there when you are driving, but I do not believe the engine is really
creating 80psi of pressure-should really be creating more around 40
give or take. It will also bounce up and down, mine goes
from 40 to 60, or sometimes 20 to 40 when the car is idling. Just
check the dipstick if you are concerned about oil level. Also white
smoke could mean that your water pump is leaking coolant on the block
under the manifold, which means the coolant will sit on the block
until it gets hot enough to boil away. You can determine what is going
on by the smell of the smoke, there is a distinct smell for oil
burning and a distinct smell of coolant burning-way different from
eachother. Do you notice your coolant level lower? Oil level lower?
