White smoke through hood on startup

ColeD · 04-08-2023, 10:12 AM

Only noticed a few times now, disappeared after about 10 sec. Garage parked, can't remember if it may have been wet or not from the day before.

Have a rotofab dry and add-w1 catch can those are the only engine changes. I have noticed the breather filter that came with the catch can for the crankcase was wet the other day possibly oil. Any ideas what to look for to confirm a source? Thanks in advance

Did you open your catch can to make sure it isn't full?

Try to get close enough to the white smoke to smell it. Could be oil, fuel or antifreeze. Each fluid has a distinctive smell.

I empty the catch can every week or two religiously.

I can try to open the hood and run over real quick, I live alone so difficult to get someone else to start it up for me.

Something isn't right if you have any type of smoke coming through the hood vent...
