Took my xj out on the high way for the first time in 2 years and it smoked like crazy . I topically only drive it on short trips and never noticed it before I know I have a oil leak some where so it could be coming from that ill have some one tail me tomorrow to se if its coming out the pipe or under neath . I don't know . It seems to me I'm becoming a car expert , by the time I get this thing off the road and onto some dirt ill know and have touched each part

Wipe your finger inside the tailpipe (oh stop it, you know what I mean) and see if you have fuel, oil, soot...
