[Shotimes] Underhood oil smoke

[Ron Porter]

Oh, you mean a BFW, a close cousin to the BFH.

Yeah, and it's even easier to get to with the y-pipe off. Especially after
it has taken two nights to drill out three broken exhaust studs getting the
y-pipe off for a rod bearing job!!

Sounds a lot like the infamous Oil Pressure Sender
leak.  Easiest to get at from underneath.  I've always
just used a big adjustable wrench to get mine off. 
About 5 bucks at any auto parts store, the sender, not
the big ol' wrench...
