johnny g Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Morning folks, managed to get some oil on my exhaust wrap, and now the car is smoking like hell when it's warm and it's not giving me confidence at the moment. Any one have any recommendations for removing the oil from there? Or do I need to re-wrap it? There's not a lot of oil, but it's enough to make me nervous.

absz Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 It will soon burn off once the exhaust temps get hot enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 It will soon burn off once the exhaust temps get hot enough. If it doesn't catch fire first;) Nah! it should just BURN off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 I might just stand over the car with my extinguisher, just in case - till it stops burning! Thanks chaps, I just needed some reassurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Give it a soak in some kind of engine degreaser like gunk or jizzer then rinse off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
