Jesse,

If you haven't bought this thing yet, be careful. Could be simple and it could be a mess.

When it is running, do you smell a "sweet" smell? If so, that is antifreeze burning; if the smoke is a very light blue color with no "sickening sweet smell", then it is probably oil burning.

The first thing you have to do is to find out where the smoke is coming from.....is it antifreeze or is it oil. Either way, sounds like this old gal is going to need some work.

Is the antifreeze level up where it should be? Are there bubbles in the radiator when it is running? Does the radiator have oil in it?

Pull the crankcase drain plug and let just a small amount of fluid out...is it oil or is antifreeze?

Just some thoughts for you,

Allan
