Hey guys.

I recently got a 1990 Honda Accord off a mate for a couple hundred bucks. The car isnt in too badder condition but for some reason it heaps up a heap whenever driven for a while. The engine seems to sound fine when it runs and the heat guage sits on a normal temp (however it could be broken), but when the engine gets warm after about 20 minutes of driving it, it starts to smoke a bit out of the engine bay. There isnt oil spilt over the engine or anything obvious and the radiator coolant seems to be fine. Does anyone have any idea of what this could be?

Also, is it normal for alot of air to be being forced out of the oil filler hole on the crankcase?, when the car is idiling and you take the oil filler cap off there is a large amount of air being forced out the hole, i was just wondering if this was normal.

Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

Dave.
