[QUOTE="MalayCooper, post: 34261, member: 19132"] Hi as the title says, my car starts fine everytime, no smoke and no smell. But as i drive off and take a Left Hand turn, once i get back on the straight and try to accelerate... HUGE amount of white smoke blowing out of the tail pipe and this will last for about 4-5 seconds or less if I let go of the gas pedal. Funnily, this does not happen on RH turns... or if i drive on the highway and dont take the LH corners as spiritedly...Once fully warmed up she rarely do this, at most times will drive just fine the whole day... Am i correct to suspect one of the valve stem seals are leaked/perished and leaking oil into the combustion chamber? I dont want to remove the cyl head unless I can pin-point the exact problem 1st... FYI engine pulls to 6200rpm real good all the time. Just the occasional white smoke making the car following behind panicked and flashing his/her lights furiously at me LOL.Any ideas?Syed [/QUOTE]
