Coming home from the store tonight I decided to take the longer way and enjoy the nice evening. I hadn't stretched my cars legs for a while so coming up my road I accelerated normally, not full throttle and just let the engine spin up to 5500 rpm and then I costed up to the next stop sign. Sounded nice I thought, and then I looked in my rear view mirror and was horrified to see a white smoke screen that could have been left by James Bond's car. It was pretty bad. Now, the car doesn't burn oil, the level on the dipstick has literally not changed from when I put new oil in this January. I turned it off and started it back up, a puff of white smoke came out of the exhaust but that was it. Drove it around the block and didn't see any more white smoke, but I was too afraid to rev it up again. Side note, the engine seems to run great although it does have a slight coolant leak, when I come out in the morning there will be a small puddle the size of a quarter. I thought I was set for summer. What am I into?
