the whole story is here.....https://www.nopistons.com/forums/ind...=ST&f=8&t=8743



Now this is what I have found today.



I drove the car home from work and parked it.

If I hold the rmp's steady anywhere from 1k to about 3500k, no smoke. When it hits 4k or higher james bond mode kicks in really bad.

So can this be leftover ATF sitting somewhere?

If it is the oil seals, why do they only leak at 4k or higher?
