Help! 260E smoking
Well, today I was just moving my car. It was not even at operating temp and I shut it off. I decided to check my fluids because I noticed a spot on my driveway. I found my oil was semi low. So, I looked under the cap where oil is poured and a small bit of smoke came out. What could be causing that? I smelled it and rather than smelling like oil, it smelled of gasoline. Any suggestions?

A small amount of smoke, mixed with water vapors and gasoline smell is nothing to worry about during the warm up period.
After a cold start-up, the fuel/air mixture is richer and some gasoline fumes can find their way into the top of the engine and water droplets present in the cold engine will vaporize resulting in some steam (sometimes also seen out of the exhaust pipe). JackD |
