Ok so sometimes when i take the parkway home(highway), and no one is around me, ill sometimes take it up to 100, and cruise at 100, for about 1/2 mile, and go back down to about 70. Soon i come to a light and have to stop, the engine smokes for about 30 seconds, and you can smell a burning. My engine has 139k miles on it.1997 mitsubishi eclipse gs-t spyder

Anyone know what this can be? I been in other cars and done the same thing, and nothing happens

first off, your 17 and so am i... dont go so fast man, it sucks to have your license taken away. just chill and if you wana go fast, take it to the drag strip, or airport at late at night.

but, if your motor is leaking any oil... it causes a large smoke when it leaks onto the block, usually comes up between the front window and the hood. sometimes more than others depending on the speeds. replace your seals/ gaskets and youll be fine.

but yeah, seems you rag on your motor... shit fucks up when you do that.

this SHOULD be in TECH and in a DIFFERENT FORUM.

and you should have your car and DL revoked.

k, not to rag on you for being young or driving recklessly, but you probably have an oil leak somewhere. turbo cars in general are prone to oil leaks. and anytime oil contacts hot exhaust piping, it will burn and smoke. your best bet is to clean the hell out of your engine and then run it for a while and inspect it very very carefully for any oil leaks, especially any that will drip onto your exhaust piping. and slow down mofo.

This can probably be a question better asked on a DSM forum.
