mizham Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Your mechanic is qite right, but if it continue to comes after few days then show again to mechanic and ask him to check if engine oil isnt leaking and getting burnt near manifold area. Also check f brake oil isnt getting leak and dropping on manifold area, as that is more dangerous as brake oil is highly inflamable and also catch fire if it drops on very hot manifold.

salmaan Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Coolant doesnt make any smoke, it evaporate if i am not wrong. Check for exhaust leak at manifold gasket or some other joints and gasket around the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
