zach123 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 My 1992 3 speed automatic Loyale which i recently acquired makes whitish clear smoke in the engine compartment after driving for a while. It runs great and has no noticeable leaks but still smokes for about 5 minutes after i park it. Any help would be appreciated.

86 Wonder Wedge Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Could be trans fluid... Or coolant... Smell? Fluid levels good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee2 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Sounds like it is steam. Probably a coolant leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_Loyale Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) If it is a white cloud like steam, check the plastic tank to see if the coolant level is low. There is a small bypass hose that comes out of the thermostat housing into the block, about a 1/4" dia hose. That is notorious for leaking coolant. The thing is if you run the engine and look under the hood you may not see if leaking. I had to grab the throttle and goose it before the the slit opened up and I could find the leak. When idling, the slit was closed and no leak. However as soon as power was applied, ir sprayed like a hose. If it smells like oil, the you have oil leaking and hitting the exhaust. Check your oil level to see if it is going down. Edited May 6, 2014 by MR_Loyale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
