another smoker
 

this morning took queen to ihop before she left town and parked on an incline. no rain in the area.

after an hr at breakfast went out and started the 88 560 and poof....you know what i see....white steam or smoke.....

then upon driving goes away....indy says no blown head gasket

im stumped....

lyle:eek:

Lyle, check all fluid (oil, coolant, power steering fluid and transmission fluid) levels regularly for a few weeks and see if any are being consumed. It's obvious something is burning.

How did the shop confirm that the head gasket was not at fault?

I wouldn't be too worried since it was early morning. Might be just condensation burning off from exhaust.

Incline could have made some coolant leak out of the expansion tank, and dripped onto the exhaust manifold, as it heated up it evaporates and turns to white smoke. Was it out of the exhaust or under the hood? Just a thought...better hope it wasn't the HG!
