I just bought a 90' 4x4 ex cab auto with the v6 3.0. The coolant level was very low on the truck. The oil was over filled by two quarts (but there was hardly a discoloration due to coolant contamination) I started the truck and it fired right up with a little press on the pedal.After it fired up it smoked a little bit out from the pipe but was very light Grey and smelt like unburned fuel(I am thinking from sitting) After it fired up i turned it off, then removed some oil so it was at its accurate level. I started it up again and it began to smoke from up under the intake manifold gasket, when i press on the accelerator pedal u can tell there is a vacuum leak. The coolant level has not dropped and the oil looks like some water may have contaminated it but the level has not gone up on the dipstick. After i turn the truck off it smokes from the dipstick for 2 seconds and when i pull out the dipstick it shows it is overfilled, but as soon as i wipe it off and recheck it is right back to its original state, I think there is some pressure buildup in the oil pan?
I think it is the intake manifold gasket seeing that the truck does not blow white smoke and that it seems to be running pretty decent.
Please let me know what u guys think, Thanks Chewbac63
