Final Answer?
Quote:
I was wondering if Skip in VA had ever found the answer... because I've got the same problem. I don't know the history of the car, I just got it and got it started. Had some gray smoke at start-up, then less as I revved to warm up, and blow the gunk out a little bit. As soon as it would idle without the pedal, I looked around the car an saw a lot of oil coming from the exaust. I shut the car off, and checked to see that the oil was from the crankcase, and nothing else. The oil had dropped at least a quart, and all the other fluids are unchanged. There is no mixing of fluids, no loss of coolant, and the engine was running smooth and started easily; especially for a car that sat for a few years. The car is a 190D, with hydraulic lifters, and no turbo. Does anyone have an answer? Thanks, birdman

It has a bent connecting rod that has ovalized the cylinder. It's not uncommon on the 603.970.

why
would a bent rod cause oil to come out the pipes?

and if
it is a bent rod, then a blown head gasket may have caused the hydro lock and the bent rod.
here we go again. tom w

I think Skip in VA has long since skipped outta the forum.
Long time since the thread was started

I suppose that it's premature to speculate. A compression and leakdown test should provide some data to make a better judgment.
