After my car is running for 10-15 minutes or after I drive it for awhile I can smell smoke and if I open the hood you can see the smoke coming out. It looks like its coming up from near the trans area. When I looked under the car it appeared that it was coming off of the cat. The car runs/drives great, no signs of low compression and no oil in the coolent. What could this be? Its a GSL-SE.

Thanks,

Jeremy

 

What color is the smoke?

 

I"m gonna be optimistic and say exhaust leak?

check the gasket from the manifold/header to the cats...

 

Does it smell like someone just locked up the brakes? If so the clutch needs some attention. If its sweet smelling, coolent.

Peace

 

The smoke is mostly whiteish but I swear I can see some blue in it. Yesterday it continued to come out after I shut the engine off for maybe 5 minutes. Is it possible oil could be leaking onto part of the exhaust that is hot and burning off? It doesn't smell sweet like coolent. Smells more like oil or maybe just exhast?

 

check for oil leaks and for burnt oil spots on the outside of the exhaust manifold
