Not sure if i should put this here or in General area of forum.
I took the Mustang out today to put some drive time on it and it runs great, idles smooth and exhibits none of the running problems it had before i rebuilt the distributor and replaced the tfi module.
Im getting what looks like white(possibly grey) smoke under hard acceleration usually over 3000rpms and in boost but only while doing so in 2nd and 3rd gears. At highway speeds i get nothing no matter how hard i gun it in 3rd gear and up. It left black soot all over the passenger side of the rear lower bumper. Just for reference the tailpipe is on the drivers side.
It definately smells like oil, the smell filled up the interior despite top down but not blue at all its not appearing to be motor oil because i checked that a few times and its bang on the mark still.
I havent "crawled" under it yet but nothing is leaking on the ground from it so far and cursory glance underneath showed nothing either.
Im going to try to go back tomorrow and get it on some ramps to look it over but wanted some input on what else i should check other than the transmission fluid level and tailshaft seal.
