Afternoon boys and girls.
Just want to know your opinion on a little problem.
Had the cambelt done the other week and the mechanic spilled some power steering fluid on the exhaust manifold, said may get some white smoke but dont worry, anyway never got any.
2 weeks down the line on thursday, was sat on the m1 in standstill traffic for 30mins so car was a bit warm as it had a run then stop. Just to note too ive cut the rubber strip that seals the boonet around the wiper area so to allow heat to escape and boy you should see the heat that does escape unreal tothink thats trapped under the engine, anyway so white smoke poured out from that region for about 20 secs, abit thick then stopped, so pulled of onto had shoulder and checked everything, nothing, no signs of anything.
So the same thing has just happened tonight but literaly was like the amount youd get from a cigarette but this time i could see it around the exhaust area but was so faint, took the car for a run and its fine, no power loss etc. There is a bit off oil around the block though from previous oil leaks etc that have been fixed but never cleaned off.
So any ideas?
