Sad day

Well I bought a 2003 Tacoma v6 double cab and well it started smoking from the engine white smoke at first it came from all the engine then I saw some black gunk on the exhaust pipes smoking so I cleaned the engine and everything scraped the gunk of and now it just smokes from the passager side of the motor it only happens after 15 minutes after the engines is heated up I guess I got bamboozled lol but anyway do you guys think I need a new motor?

 

It does need a 02 sensor can that cause it

 

Could it possibly be a leaking head gasket?

 

idk I'm going to have it checked with machanic soon is a leaking head gasket bad I'm guessing it's going to be expensive

 

It runs fine? Sounds like an oil leak is dripping onto some hot exhaust or something.
It runs fine, correct?

 

Started to read, but gave up.

 

I had to really focus and care to get through it

 

Yeah

 

May need a head gasket or head but I wouldn't say the motor is dead. You don't do any of the work yourself?

 

Valve cover gasket?

 

Wait a minute, smoke is coming out of exhaust pipe at back of truck? Or smoke is coming out engine bay?

 

Engine bay passager side

 

I'm hoping so wait i did notice the under side of the engine is covered in oil

 

An oil leak leaking onto hot exhaust it sounds like

 

No just oil change and transmission oil change

 

I really hope so the engine sounds pretty good I was really hoping to have this truck for work

 

I meant are you gonna be fixing this oil leak causing this smoke? Or are you taking it in to have it fixed?

 

What do u think I should do

 

I was thinking about having one of this mobile machanic come to my house to check it out

 

After you bought it or perhaps just recently, did you change the oil yourself? Go make sure the filter is on snug (not over-tightened of course but make sure its on properly). Many, many moons ago I had the oil changed and a day or two later noticed a ton of smoke. Checked and I'm leaking oil. Oil covering everything from filter back to the rear diff. You guessed it, the oil change tech did not sufficiently tighten the filter. I gave it 1.5 turns to the right and leak gone.
