Thin whispy smoke, seems to not affect anything bu it is there, what is?
ok
Sunday is car day, up nice and early
a little chilly here but sunny.
Car: 1984 Camaro 2.8: V6, Auto (700R4)
mileage is "163,000" says 63000 w 5 digits
Symptom: "thin whispy smoke" appears after what seems like a set amount of time running or driving the car, roughly 15 minutes. appears primarily when its runnig, slightly after off. Engine "Feels fins" very stong, doesnt stutter or anything. Cooling system DOES pressurize confirmed this today. appears at first from what looks like EGR valve (?) on driver side of engine, seems to have a hise off or disconnected, i will take pics and perhaps a video when i can of this and sometimes appears to be rising up from below the round part that houses the air filter.
No bubbling coolant
no mustard
no mayonnaise.
ACTION TAKEN: Topped off radiator with hy-per water wetter as it was a little bit low, poured in a smidge of prestone green extended life antifreeze due to it being not cold here for freezing. result? "reduced" smoking, no temp gauge iu can not tell you how hot the car runs or anything it runs strong, no signs of overheating
topped off transmission and power steering too, maybe ill fire it back up if i do this again in two weeks i can have pics, a hose is disconnected maybe that has something to do with it, its right next to air filter and it looks like an egr valve, very small has two hoses coming in, just below air filter one leads to.
car runs good just took it on the road, very strong, playing it safe not running it too long, maybe ill take it for another short trip. added pint of MMO too maybe ill change the filter if i can get to it easy
tips? insight? questions? will be happy to provide as much detaiil as i can. Thank you
