um sentances are your friend, lists work too



they have buzzers for low oil, and low coolant so you need to finger out which one it is.



the little pipe is like the airpump exit or something, its a funky old mazda thing



the smoke, maybe oil? coolant? fuel?

Does the motor get up to operating temp?



My 7 was smoking BIG time until I put a thermostat in it. Now, it only smokes at

startup.
