[Shotimes] Underhood oil smoke

[Bill Murray]

It coul be either the gaskets or the sender.  If its a sudden leak I expect the sender over the gaskets.  The sender i also cheaper and easier to replace, as long as you have the socket that fits.

Ahhh... You have an MTX and, I assume, don't live in CA. The DPFE is a shiny
box on the back of the intake if you have EGR, which all ATX and CA MTX's
do.

Yes, it's a 92 MTX. I'm probably going to buy some VCG's on the way home and
just replace them tonight, and hope that does it. Pardon my ignorance, but
what is the DPFE?
