Well, heres another issue that I sure could use nsome insight. I know, headgaskets. Heard that a lot. But heres the symptoms. Smoke coming out of tailpipe pretty good. And sometimes, but not all the time smoke is coming up from the back of the motor straight up towards hood when hood is opened. Could be both at same time, could be just tailpipe but is always tailpipe whether its coming up from rear of motor or not. Now, the fluid info. Theres no antifreeze ever leaking Im sure as everytime I open the radiator cap the antifreeze is at the same level. right at the top. Always. Theres barely any oil consumption. A quart here, quart there but thats few and far between. Has 115k miles. Is the 6 cyl 2.5 and a 1998 year sebring conv jx or jxi. No oil all caked under the motor like a lot of em have. Transmission fluid level seems like its staying the same always. Never any overheating. ever on the gauge. And the gauge works. Starts out at low, then after warms up its half way right where its always registered. So what in the world. Oil is only thing thats getting added and like I said thats very rare in between oil changes. It was in a front end fender bender that hit medium hard. Not tear up hard but hard enough to bend that drivers side long I beam inwards an inch. Any ideas? Ya'll always know something or another that always helps. Thanks, Marc!
