    Hey guys I have a 03 gtp and recently (last 2 days) ive noticed there is smoke coming from underneath my car on my exhaust inbetween the front seats. possibly coming from my Cat but im not certian on that as i got it replaced at GM about 2 months ago. i know that this cant be normal lol so i was hoping you guys could give me some pointers on what to check for or concluding what my issue is.. the only code my car is throwing is for the MAF. im hoping to narrow this problem down so that i dont end up replacing a bunch of perfectly functioning parts thanks to my local Shops. Thanks in advance

    check the rear valve cover, it may be leaking oil onto the exhaust

    are you talking about the OIL LIFE on the DIC (driver info center)?? Because thats for the oil change's as in you should change the oil when its at 0% or somewhere close to it or 3,000 miles.


    THe rear valve cover in on the back of the motor, look at the front one with the oil cap on it and it looks the exact same in the rear, get on top of the motor and with a flash light look for oil leaking out the back side of it.
