Hi im new to the forums stumbled across them while looking on how to fix the new problem with my Rav4
Its a automatic 2000 4cylinder 130k miles Replaced the transmission at 30k after pulling a u-haul trailor with the built in tow package ( Bad mistake ). Yesterday I changed the oil and rotated the tires. I think i might have slilghty overfilled it the dip stick shows about an inch above full. But anyways.
It started smoking and the check engine light popped up. I thought it was somethingto do with the transmission because going from either 3rd-4th gear or 4-5th ( if it has a 5th im not sure ) it reved real high then slipped into the gear and i had ALOT of white maybe blueish smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe. I went home and checked the transmission fluid. It was so low it didnt register on the dip sitck. I put a quart in it then when driving the car again the same thing happened.
I inspected the exhaust pipe and it was heavily lined with oil. This made me think about the oil change and i realized that i just had the front on jack stands wich would make it have more oil then normal. I was wondering if the excess oil is the problem. Or does it have to do with a leak somewhere causing un-wanted fluids getting into the crankshaft/cylinder head. Any info is appreciated thanks.
