Smoke coming at start up

Smoke coming at start up

Postby Coconut » Tue May 23, 2006 3:57 pm

I had my car sitting out in my garage for ~ 8 days, and when I started it up today, I noticed gray smoke coming from near the oil filter area and the smell was real bad inside the car. I will be changing the gasket seal which is worn out some time today or tomorrow. Could the worn out seal be the reason of the smoke?

It could be leaking from the seal and dripping on the header and then burning.

Thanks.

That's what I thought. I will probably find out if anything beside the seal has gone out after the seal replacement.
