Hi! fella. Today I was checking out my car, I start the engine and poped the hood. I was checking the brake oil. All in a sudden I saw really thin smoke come out from the back of the engine by the firewall. I shut it off then start it again after maybe 2 min. smoke coming out again. Then i took it for a spin. come back i waited almost 5 mins. but no more smoke. Is that possible that smoke cause by a leaky oil pan? The smoke is really thin, i can't tell what color it is. Thanks

 

You have a leak (oil, coolant, fuel) and it's getting on to something hot, like the exhaust. You'll need to tear into it and find the source.

 

exhuast leak maybe down by the dp?

 

oil pedestal leak.

 

i believe is the oil pedestal leak. i saw oil around the filter and power steering reservoir. I will double check today. if it is the oil pedestal leak, is that hard to fix?

 

There are 2 orings under the pedistal that can be replaced.
