Here's something interesting I've noticed. Occasionally, a puff of smoke

will rise up from my motor when driving. Once when I was starting it up

too. When I got home I opened the lid and pulled out the luggage tray. I

noticed that a little oil would spit out from underneath the filler

cap/breather and smoke when it hit the cyclinder head. Accoding to the

gauge, I've got pretty solid oil pressure, maybe a little to solid because

it's always beend to the far right. Although, I've noticed it dropping a

little lately, but it goes right back up with a little driving. Anybody

know what's going on with my Pantera?



Thanks for the input,



Nobbie



P.S. I've been driving the baby daily now for about a month.
