I have smoke coming from where!?!
i have this problem with my brand new third gen RX-7 TT. it constantly smells like oil. i was onderinf what is causing this problem. Is it serious or minor? i also see white smoke coming from under the hood after i have been driving it for a while. I also noticed a ticking sound coming from the motor. IS this normal? i am obviously a first time owner of the rotary motor so any help on these matters would be greatly appreciated.....

brand new turbo?..maybe one of the oil line is leaking and causing the turbine to burn the oil? I used to have the smoke problem and i found out that the motor was leaking oil from the oil pan and the oil which spilled from the pan got onto the cat. and that was causing it to smoke after driving....
