Puff of smoke Mon, 25 August 2003 05:26 Go to previous message
Ok, this is the third time I've noticed it now over a period of probably 6 months. But today and the last time are about a month apart.

I start the car first thing in the morning, and I see a cloud of smoke drift off behind the car.

It looks blue-ish, which means it's oil I think.

It's just one initial puff, then no more blue smoke. I always let my car warm up properly before driving off too.

I checked the exhaust after the initial puff and there's faint white smoke just puffing out. (Condensation I think). But after the car is fully warmed it's fine. I can then drive easy or hard all day and the exhaust is clear.

Should I worry, or is it something that just happens?
