Oil in Intake Manifold - Smoke on Startup
Lately I’ve been noticing a bit of smoke on startup. With a Reman engine & no history of overheating, I figured something else was the cause. Today I had some time, so I removed the intake plenum & inspected the throttle body. It’s somewhat clean (cleaned it two months ago). When I...

my tech was convinced they just forgot to put the new oil in at the last service. luckily i didn't drive the car much. then they did another oil change, and a few days later there was oil missing again and the dash oil monitor had no clue.

i took it in for oil change which they did. Drove home a few miles and for whatever reason i decided to check the oil on the dash. i was getting 2 different readings using the hood open and hitting the cancel button vs the regular way. it said add a qrt so i did. my gut told me to bring it back to the shop. They called and said the car was missing 5 or 6 qrtz as if they forgot to put in oil. im friends with the shop owner and he is a very honest person. they dug around for a while and figured out the oil went into the intake, then they fixed the vacuum pump, pcv valves etc...but at no point did the car identify or communicate a low oil state.

it went to the bottom of the intake and only blew smoke on WOT a few times. right now there is no sign of smoke at WOT.
