Hey gusy

I just had my engine replaced in va car was there at dads sitting the ppl there did ****ty jobb need take it back but in nj trying get some things squared away first my engien is smoking on passenger side and when pulled over looked like might be coming from exahuse area and maybe just extra flowing out from engine area?? It only does this when i stop at red light stop sign etc then soon as i step on gas u cant see smoke i tried few additives says help stop smoking added to oil none seeming to work any ideas?

Additives are almost never helpful, and many can be harmful. Don't even bother with them.

It would help if you could determine the source of the smoke - exhaust, leaked oil that is burning, etc.
