White Smoke Occasionally Coming From Exhaust (1982 GL EA 81)


Recommended Posts

Okay, so I filled my gas tank completely full of gas. And added 1/2 can of Seafoam to the gas tank, and 1/2 container of HEET .

 

I drove the car until it was basically empty of gas. On the way to fill up of when the tank was nearly empty (gas light was not on) I noticed some white smoke coming out from the exhaust, usually when accelerating at idle from a stop light or stop sign. Within about 10-15 seconds the white smoke would dissipate and the white smoke would go away.

 

I filled up the tank with gas, and DID NOT add anything to the tank. The white smoke came from the exhaust once or twice when taking off from a stop sign from idle. The smoke isn't persistent during the drive what so ever.

 

Is this normal? I didn't notice any smoke at all for the first 200 miles or so, maybe there was, and I just didn't notice.

 

I had a pretty bad oil leaking coming from the OPS, and the front mail seal. The gaskets have been changed, and the engine compartment completely degreased.

 

Thanks!

Maybe

 

Keep an eye on your coolant level for a while, otherwise...

 

Thats just condensation in the exhaust system burnig off. Depending upon the driving condtions humidity alignment of the planets and the gnome population in your area, it may happen.
