Possible oil burning

[oldmansupra]

So after fixing coolant and fuel leaks my car has a few symptoms:

-Idle around 1500-1800, after the car warms up the idle doesn't drop back down.
-After the car warms up, the exhaust sputters white smoke on and off. This white smoke smells to me
like it's burning oil
-The oil pressure gauge on my dash shows pressure when first started, but the needle slowy falls back
down.

Thanks in advance for any advice. I'm doing some research on this and will hopefully have my car running smoothly soon.

The coolant/water is burning in the combustion chambers. Probable causes are a leaking head gasket or a cracked head or block. You need to get it fixed, it will only get worse and will cause the internals to rust. It might be sputtering on and off due the pressure the system applies when its on. When it's off, it sinks into the leak. If the smoke is more gray than white, than you can still have a fuel system or ignition problem. It can be other things, but lets hope its not.

Yeah it's possible the HG blew. The motors been rebuilt with ARP studs and a MHG so I hope that's not what happened. I'll buy a combustion leak tester and check for fuel in my coolant.
