Why is my car spitting out oil ?

I started my car this morning in my garage against our white cabinets and when i pulled out i had exhaust splatter all over them . Car seems to be running super rich ? Is this normal for our cars or just depends on the tune of how rich im tuned for ?

Is it oil as your title states or is it water mixed with the soot from the exhaust?

I'm betting on the latter.......

My garage door. I tried cleaning it once, just said hell with it after that.

Sweet merciful crap - looks like the seat of my boxers...........

Seriously, from here on out I highly recommend opening the garage door before starting it up.

Clearly there are other issues here besides my dirty garage door.

A possible solution to your situation . . . .

TIAL BOV

A giant vent to atmopshere blow off valve which releases large amounts of air


The MAF sesnor (mass air flow) has measured that air and injects large amounts of fuel to mix with air that has been just realeased to the atmoshere

This injection of fuel results in mometary super rich conditions which fouls plugs and washes down the oil off your cylinder walls

(But it does sound great)

When you use any BOV which is VTA - (vent to air) your car injects a load of raw fuel which helps to coat your exhuast with a reside of black grime which can mis with condensation in your exhuast

When you start the car a mist of water conednsation and grime blows out the back of your exhuast

If you are curious about this please have someone start yor car while you hold a sheet of white paper up near the exhuast tip

edit: wait, so your suggesting he NOT use a tial right?

to the OP, the solution to your problem is to park the car so your exhaust isn't near anything.
