hey ive had my car for bout 3 months now and i have filled the thing up with oil three times, i did have some leaks but now its just a small dribble down the front of the head, and a lil bit from the timing case not enought to cause this much. i know it blows a bit of smoke when i take off hard in first gear bit it is only in first gear and i thought that was just from me puttin on a hi flow cat (never used to do it before). i have checked the oil to see if it is milky and its is fine so the head hasnt gone, i think it might be rings. if so how much would this cost or would it be better to get a new motor, if thats the case i was thinkin el xr6 motor wats the price for one of these.
