I have a 86 prelude its the 2.0L SI. Its been sitting for like 3-4months and I just started it up last night. Iam planning on giving it to my sister cause she needs a car pretty bad and this one is good motor wise other then When i started it back up smoke is comming out of the engine bay area towards the bottom of the block. I dont know if its because its been sitting for awhile and blew something or maybe a gasket went bad or what . I wondering if anyone on here knows what maybe some of the causes could be. It smeels like oil. The car hasnt been running long at all it started smoking when i first started it up. The engine wasnt even warmed up. Just heavy smoke comming up from the engine. towards the bottom of it. The front around the exhaust mainfold. Curious to know if anyone knew what it could be. I had to jump start it to if that helps any. Ask me somthing that could help pin point the problem if its not here.

 

sounds like oil buring off the manifold to me

 

get some degreaser and spray it down

 

check the oil level and the bottom of the motor for leaks first.

 

k will do.

 

My thoughts exactly.
