Hello all, it's been a while since I've posted, sorry about that. I'm having a problem w/my 89 760T. Quick back story; bought it in Apr non running for $100. She has 245,000 mi. Since then, I replaced the intank prepump & sock, fuel pressure regulator, harmonic balancer, spark plugs & ignition coil, did timing & belt, battery, oil change, serviced crankcase vent system & hoses to include replacing the oil trap. Now she runs, but after a few minutes starts blowing white smoke. I've read that means my headgasket is blown. Great. But I also have a problem with excessive crankcase pressure, and I'm wondering if the headgasket leak would/could cause that. I also noticed that the oil on the dipstick is reddish colored (?!). No oil in the coolant overflow tank...

Thanks for any/all input, I want to make this car my daily driver. I have some $ set aside and I'm going to spend as much as I have to to get her to be road worthy (brakes, rotors, radiator, thermostat & hoses, main fuel pump & filter, engine & tranny mounts, rear shocks, tires, & whatever else I need to accomplish that - some of that is just preventative).
