Default Oil shooting out of exhaust.

My car(93 GSR) was stuck in the snow yesterday and when I was trying to accelerate out(with help of pushing), black oil was shooting out of the exhaust pipe. It was quite a bit too. Someone tell me what's wrong and what needs to be fixed.

your car is free from being stuck right? if so, then is it still shooting oil?? if it is, then your rings are fried. another way to check is to touch the inner part of the exhaust tip to see if there is any oil on it. sorry bro.

Before you panic, feel inside the exhaust tip. It might be water combined with soot. That would be sort of normal, especially if you got snowed in while parked & the engine was cold.

If its oily, then I guess its a question of how bad it is. Compression test & stuff like that will tell you more.

good chance it is just soot and water... most cars do that in the cold when they are first started up
