[QUOTE="Black Stang 97, post: 14544325, member: 43970"] So recently I noticed smoke coming up from under the hood while I was at a street light. When I got home I opened the hood and noticed that there was smoke coming out from breathers on both sides. Another odd thing that I noticed was that I was getting a stronger oil scent while driving. The car drives fine, no knocks or weird sounds. Oil dipstick and water reservoir is clean as normal. I added an oil separator to the passenger side valve cover and added a breather on the other end of the separator. After 2 or so drives, I found a little water and a milky substance in the separator. As you can see in the pic, there is slight water on the bottom of the separator. It does not smoke at startup nor while driving under any type of load. Car has a Vortech V2 running on 10lbs with aftercooler. Stock long block. Does this mean a blown head gasket?
