Dear all, My car has been blowing out white smoke at higher rpm at full throttle.

But no code, no crank issue, smooth idel, oil and coolant level pretty normal since maintenance 3k miles ago. My car has 42k and jb4 only.

Does anyone Know what might be going on? Thanks!!!

Good luck


Inspect all 3, if possible.

Thanks for ur information. I'll replace pcv and filter gasket, since they aren't expensive. Turbos.....hope not

After my car sits for a few hours and after I drive a block or two I sometimes get white smoke for 15-30 seconds then its gone. Really annoying but it doesn't do it all the time. It started after I had downpipes installed. Another symptom I'm having is a burning oil or coolant smell through my a/c vents when I come to a stop. Any ideas on how to fix either?

Smoke only on start up? Turbo seals are shot.

I'm no mechanic nor the least bit mechanically inclined but will a leaking oil filter housing gasket cause smoke in his exhaust?

It doesn't smoke on start up but after I drive a block or two then it starts then goes away after 15 seconds or so.

It can cause a shit ton of smoke, dealer fixed it once already....... A pressure test of the coolant system showed a leak. I was told its pretty common for O F H gasket to go out/bad And that's what it was. I had a white vapor trail behind me....... Looked like a jet in the sky. But the smell was sweet hence a coolant leak Not oil.
To answer ur question Yes it can

Anybody know what could cause the burning exhaust or coolant smell coming through my a/c vents when I come to a stop? I goes away once I start driving but comes back when I stop at the lights.
