Here's a mystery.
First. I know that if I see white smoke coming from my exhaust, it is a coolant problem and probably a blown head gasket. Worst case senario.
But here is what I experienced yesterday.
I drove about 15 miles up the road to warm up my engine. I stopped by the side of the road to send a text message and sat there idling for about three minutes. When I drove off, I had two clouds of white smoke from my exhaust. Then it disappeared and did not reappear. I had not seen anythinglike this before. Further down the road I pulled off, idled for about a minute, and drove off with no white smoke.
I reached my desitnation and visited a friend for about an hour. When I started the car to return home, there was no smoke, and no smoke on the way home. In fact, no smoke since then.
I have noticed no change in the level of coolant, upon inspection when the engine cooled.
Anyone have an idea of what may be going on?
