RSK LIMITED II Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) After letting my car sit for about 2 or 3 weeks I Finnair got it started again only to realise that there was smoke coming from the drivers side of the engine bay. Never used to have this issue before. When idling cold doesn’t have the issue but when the warms up it seems to occur. Not sure if smoke is oil or not as doesn’t have that typical burning oil smell. Smoke seems to be coming from the area where the turbo on drivers side. (Right hand drive) is located. Unsure if it is related to turbo as I can’t exactly pin point where alter smoke is coming from as it seems to be coming from somewhere deep down but unsure. Thoughts ? 2002 subaru legacy ej208 twin turbo ( smoke from left hand side of circle on picture provided Edited August 22, 2020 by RSK LIMITED II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Three possible alternatives, oil, water or grease from a driveshaft boot. Put the front on ramps and look on the underside for leaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
