To answer drewsky question, I didn't change the oil. Even though i should have. I'm leaning more to the leaking valve seals though. Or the carburator. It is a sort of grey smoke it's not pure white.

Ok, it's a 2 barrel, but it doesn't matter. I do have ALOT of carbon in the motor. I never heard of doing that but it's worth a try. Thanks

I've never heard of that either. You can do the same thing with carb cleaner.

Yep, I've done that with a pop can full of water, it will work on a carbeb car like this one. Make sure the rev's are up and don't use too much water......
