Have a problem with my vehicle the oil coming out underneath the head gasket. I replace the head gasket a few days ago and still does the same. What is the problem and the vehicle smoke as well.

Hello,

When you replaced the head gasket did you make sure that all the old gasket was removed and the surfaces of both the engine block and cylinder head[s] were clean enough to eat off off? It could possibly be that the head bolts were not torqued down according to specs, or tightened in the wrong order. It could possibly be a nick or scratch in the engine block surface that is allowing oil from a galley to leak. Is there any way we could get you to upload a picture of this for us?

Thanks,
Alex
