What could be going on with my car?
Hi All,
My FD all of a sudden has decided to put out white/blue colored smoke. It appears to do this after it's warmed up while at idle (such as a stop light). As far as smell, it does smell like oil burning. There isn't a visible oil leak under the car (no puddles). The engine bay is clean (no visible signs of oil leakage) and the turbos are clean (no signs of leakage). Oil pressure is fine.
The car has not done this before..but just started doing it the past few days. The amt. of smoke it puts out is not awful, but it is definitely noticeable as it drifts around the car while at the stop lights!
Could it be an excess of fuel, such as a injector stuck open? My car has always run a little rich, but nothing out of the ordinary lately.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
