    Oil Bubbly?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I made a thread about my car smoking like a chimney, but recently it stopped but now i checked my oil and it was all bubbly, is that normal or is something seriously wrong with my car?



    Thanks,
    Junaid

    OUCH man, I don't want to scare you but I had something similar. Do you overheat at all if so check to see if you have coolant in your oil.

    Sounds like a bad head gasket. Could be oil cooler too

    I will post a picture tomorrow, but no coolant is being lost and it is not overheating a bit.

    Thanks

    +1 headgasket. Check your compression and do a leakdown test. Likely will hear hissing from your oil filler cap when doing the leakdown.

    Did you get the oil changed recently? It could have been over filled, and the crank had been beating it like a whisk, causing the bubbles.
