So I finally picked up that 92 YJ and drove it home. 4.0L, Manual, drove it about 160 miles home, no issues outside of it being loud and running a little cold (it was about 30 degrees outside).
I go to start my traditional ritual of fluid changes and notice a little milkiness to the dipstick. Checked the cap, little bit, so quickly drained the oil but NO ISSUES with the full drain. Seemed fine. Press on and see what's next!
As I started to look into everything (radiator no mix, coolant tank little low but not ridiculous), I noticed there is black soot on the ground behind the tailpipe. Looks like black spatter on the ground. I don't see smoke or smell anything odd outside of the mistiness from the cold.
Any ideas? I plan to do a full run through before moving on with the real upgrades (body, suspension, etc)
I've never seen black spatter sitting on the ground though. Makes me nervous!
Thanks all.
