Last week one of my fuel injectors win out and I replaced it win I started it up it was ok but win I started driving a lot of smoke came out of the exhaust at first I thought it was just because it was a new injector but the smoke never stopped. When I turned around and win back 2 my house and opened the hood there was oil right in front of the header. So thin I thought it was the headgasket so win I pulled the head off the gasket seems fine so could it be something else like piston rings or or is it the headgasket any help will be grate thanks

Hey guys, last week one of my fuel injectors went out. I replaced the fuel injector and it seem to run ok to me. I drove the car out for awhile and noticed smoke was coming out of the car excessively. First i thought it was the injector but, the smoke never stopped. I drove back to my house and opened the hood to see what was going on. I noticed alot of oil right in front of the header. I thought to myself " can it be the head gasket"? I pulled the head gasket and nothing was out of the ordinary. Can it be a piston ring gone bad? Or could i be wrong and in fact the head gasket was bad?
whew there! I don't mean to be an ass. I just noticed ppls bad writing alot more. I got grilled for it alot in school so i had to learn to read over my writing alot.
My advice would be remove the header or check ur oil and see if it smells like fuel. a good trick to check if its coolant is the obvious milky oil. The other way is to get the oil and drip some of it on ur exhaust manifold. If it burns its good. If it sizzles then its water. Not sure how gas with oil would react to the test but i would be carefull on that.

I darned the oil and it is defiantly gas mixed in the oil.
