: It looks like I have a head gasket problem and maybe problems with the piston rings too. What do you all think?
: Well, I cleaned up the oil mess as much as I could. Drained what was left of the engine oil. Dropped in 4 quarts of 10w30 Royal Purple and a new Nissan oil filter. Then cleaned the front valve cover and front side of the engine with some engine cleaner and rinsed it with water. Anyway took my Max for a test drive, it drives fine with no indication of overheating. However, it is still smoking. This time I notice the smoke is coming from around the engine block somewhere around the front exhaust manifold area. I don't think that the smoke is due to left over oil residue. The smoke seems to be issuing from this area and it smells like burnt oil.
