I am 16 years old and just got a 1995 Jimmy from my uncle for free. It was sitting for a while so i jumped it to start it. There was a lot of white smoke and a fair amount of oil driping form the exhaust. Could this be because it was sitting and oil was leaking in for the past couple months threw a cracked head gasket or is it because the block as a crack in it?

 

White smoke indicates a coolant leak. It could be a Head or Intake Manifold gasket.
Was oil coming from the end of the exhaust pipe? Or was it leaking around the manifold?


Oh... and welcome to the forum!

 

It was leaking from the end of the tail pipe. I took the air intake manifold off today and there was alot of oil in inside. Also there is oil in the all the coolent tubes and in the radiator.

thanks
