VRob6 0 Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 ok, just had to burn to the shop to get some milk, car not warmed up first as i always do, on the way back, very steep downhill section, following slow car which turned off the road in front of me, second gear, accelerated not very hard, downhill, plume of greyish smoke out the exhaust. my question is, am i in trouble? my old mk2 8v did the same thing a couple of times. my car barely used any oil on recent 700 mile round trip.i need some good news here guys!Rob Link to post Share on other sites
matth76 1 Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Could be condensation if car was only recently started. Or it could be slight oil leak around oil stem seals..not too much of a problem unless it is smoking or leaking a lot. Was it very white smoke or did it seem slightly blueish? If car drives ok then see how it is over the next few days/weeks. Keep an eye on your coolant level and if you get any mysterious loss in coolant then it could be head gasket - unlikely though. Otherwise see how it goes. Keep an eye on oil level. Link to post Share on other sites
