hey everybody ,i was wondering if it is normal for a DC2 ITR to spit out what seems to be oil on cold starts.It runs great, semms as normal as can be except for this spitting business.
my parents are pi$$ed cause im getting oil all ova the garrage floor and the back of the garrage door!
any ideas anyone? :confused:

u sure its not carbon/exhuast dust mixed with water?

it happens to my car in the morning from condensation.

get rid of parents.




I am quite sure Chi is right and its a carbon water cocktail. It will probably scrub off with a bit of elbow grease.

if your engine was spitting oil check your oil level it would be going down.

Btw.. do you have a large exhaust tip? usually water gets inside due to condensation so that when it starts up it spits out the water this is normal.

Cover the exhaust during night? might stop the exhaust getting condensation in it?

When i think about it a similar thing happened to my friend.

Started to spit out black liquid thought it was condensation, then the catback rattled, and they white smoke came out and the head gasket blew off.

I think u should take it to mechanics to be safe.

Don't reverse park. Start your car in the morning with the door opened..

yeh its got a 4inch tip on it....... i think i'll have to go and get some acid to clean it all off.
the oil level does go down a little quick though....... but i change it every 5000km's so it doesnt fase me.

If you have a straight through muffler at the rear this is normal, just carbon and water, used to happen with my old car.
