2000 E-Z-Go workhorse dumping blue smoke through exhaust
Hi all,
So my FIL was driving the cart and suddenly it started to throw heavy bluish smoke. He parked it right away as I was not home to talk to. When I checked it out , it started and ran fine except when under load, IE : going uphill ,heavy blueish smoke coming out the exhaust. I suspect a blown head gasket ?, if so , how much work to fix ? Thanks in advance, Tim |

Blue smoke is oil burning. I would think rings, or valve seals.

Unfortunately any time you see oil smoke it's usually not good news. Did you check the oil level? If the oil level is too high (overfilled) it can cause smoking, but usually not just under load. But worth a check. Also, if the oil level is too high, check it for fuel in the oil. If the oil smells like gasoline then it can be too thin and will cause smoking. Report back.

Thanks for the replies, it is definitely due for an oil change. I'll try that first, I don't have the manual for it , I could look up the weight or I could just ask what weight oil is recommended ? I'll probably look at the best way to change the oil and find any tips.

Thanks for the help all, it turned out the oil was a tad bit high and very broken down ( smelled like gasoline ) I changed the oil and cleaned the filter, runs like a champ now , no more smoke.
