Re: questions about a damaged Merlin engine trailing white smoke
Aerobatic shows drip a special oil on hot exhausts to produce the white smoke trail. I wouldn't doubt that oil leaking from a cracked line or block on a hot seized engine could produce the same. For that matter, coolant could also be leaking.
The P-51 was a fairly good glider with a ratio of 4 miles per every 1,000 ft. according to the pilot's manual.
