Age old smoke question, but with a twist...
Hey again.
I got a bit of a problem with my 1983 SA, the car starts up and revs nicely, and no smoke whatsoever comes out. However, after about 5 minutes of idling and revs, the car starts to blow a greyish white smoke that becomes more noticeable the longer the engine is on.
I thought this could be a shoddy oil cooler, or a radiator, or some kind of cooling problem? Keep in mind that our oil cooler and radiator both arent very good and will be getting replaced soon anyway.
Any help greatly appreciated!

There are two ports in the engine housing that allow coolant to circulate around the intake runners. The intake manifold gasket is leaking, allowing pressurized coolant to enter the intake.
