Okay, my car seems to have smoke coming out of the engine compartment. I know that can't be good. It's not a lot of smoke.
I never notice it once i'm driving, but I smell it. I can see the smoke once I'm out side my car though. Would any of you guys
know what would be the problem???

 

Do you know what you smell? you said you smell it, but is it burning oil or antifreeze or what? we need more specifics to answer your questions better!

 

I sure that it's oil. My car has a burning oil problem too. My one friend said that I could be leaking oil and it could be droping on to something hot.

 

check for an oil leak. i know on my old car i accidentally spilled a bit of oil on the engine when changing it and it smoked for about a week but it was really light. hopefully you don't have a leak or anything

 

Yeah dude. I hope that I don't ether.

 

possibly the valve cover check that out...check and see if all of your valve cover screws are tightened and your gasket isnt bad

 

May want to degrease/clean down your engine bay, that way you can better track where your engine is leaking from. Observe spots which seem to be newly "leaked", clean em off and check again later. If they're oily again, then you know where it's coming from.

You have colored smoke out of the exhaust too?

 

Theres white smoke that comes out of my exhaust...Nothing colored.

 

Light steam white or "coolant system compromised" white?

 

white smoke could be a variety of things including head gaskets, cracked head, cracked block, those are the worst...but I would use some simple green at the house on the engine bay, drive to the car wash and then wash it all off. This will help degrease everything, and be sure to check the exhaust manifold for oil drops...
