I hope you don't live in my area.....

"Testing vehicles with obvious smoke emissions pollutes the atmosphere in our testing stations and may endanger the health of the employees and members of the motoring public who are having their vehicles tested at the same time. Due to the potential health risk associated with smoke emissions, your vehicle will not be tested until it does not emit visible exhaust."

Sounds like a technical "fail" to me. :)

Well Ohio tests for Hydrocarbons and hydrocarbons is "oil".... and you can FAIL HC.
