Who here can do a leakdown test?

[njm23]

I'm in south/central jersey, I need someone who has and can do a leakdown test on my car for me. Its an AEB motor. I can drive somewhere if needed, got plenty of tools, just not a leakdown test kit. Been having what I believe to be headgasket problems and an irregular smokey exhaust. Headgasket is brand new, head was flat. Car is smoking, what looks like a white smoke but ti is hard to tell. Can smell something burning, also have an exhaust cam seal leaking and am loosing maybe 1/4-1/2 quart of oil every hundred miles or so, so I am not sure where the smell if coming from.

Want to pin point the problem since the head was just put back on with a new HG and bolts ect..

PM if you can help, thanks

There is another option available to you to see if the head isn't fully sealed. There are specialty chemicals you can use to analyze the coolant and it will change colors if there are any exhaust gases / bi-products present in the coolant.

As far as the smoking exhaust does it have the sweet smell of coolant ? Who put the headgasket on the vehicle ? How many miles have you put on the vehicle since the repair was completed ?

Problem was resolved. I put my motor together myself. Was not the head gasket, was more or less me trying to troubleshoot the car. Thanks for the reply
