Recently my car has been giving off white smoke and driping a bunch from the tail pipe. I know some water is a by-product of combustion, but about 5 seconds of reving will make a puddle about 2-3 inches wide. Is this normal. I decided to check my spark plugs and found that they are covered in carbon.
is this normal, i know this may sound like a stupid question but i dont really have a baseline to compare it from. i feel like my car gives off way to much carbon. I recently cleaned my tail pipe and had a good 3/4 mm of carbon crust. i'm just a stupid kid so any help would be appreciated. What tests could i do to find the problem. BTW, i'm talking about a d16a6. I have done a comp test and between 145 and 160 on all cylenders. Thanks!
Add: i forgot to mention that i my crankcase vent hose is disconected. I dont think that would make a difference, but usuialy i'm wrong...
Also, after i run my car for a bit, if i open up the crank case, theres a white mist like oil in it. not much, but its there. Didnt used to do it.
