Hi Everyone,
I am again in need of some help with my 84 svo.
I was driving home the other night and I was booting on the car pretty hard.
I passed someone with the pedal down(full boost) and noticed a funny burning smell which was followed by an oil smell, i looked at the gauges and the oil pressure had dropped to about half what it usually reads.
The car I had just passed had a yellowed haze to its headlights when I looked in the rearview, it was so dark i didnt realize my car was smoking really bad and I was seeing my smoke in his lights.
The car started vibrating shortly after and I could tell it was running pretty rough, it backfired and shot a flame out the exhaust that I could see in the darkness. I stuck my head out the window, looked behind and there was a massive smoke cloud behind me
This all happened within a few km of my house and I was nearly home when it was vibrating and I noticed the smoke, so I limped it home.
When I got in the driveway I popped the hood and there was oil everywhere and the dipstick had popped out
I was hoping the PCV valve had just failed and pressured up the crankcase, so I ordered a Motorcraft EV-127-A PCV and installed it yesterday. I started the car and it is still smoking really bad out the exhaust, and it sounds funny. I also noticed there was coolant dripping out the front of the motor, so today I pulled the timing cover for a better look and my waterpump is leaking out the weephole.
I am so confused as to what happened/is happening. Looking for help as to where to look next. Obviously the water pump needs replacing, but how/are these things related? Why is it smoking so bad out the exhaust? The car has 65000kms on it and is an 84. All stock with the exception of a walbro 255 pump. Please help!
