Gambit Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Mine does it do you have it parked in a garage I find it make's it worse than when I leave it outside overnight. Only when it's cold or a cold morning anyway, otherwise you don't see anything so I wouldn't worry about it mate. The colder it is the thicker it can be sometimes. So I would say it's safe. If it was a cracked head, blown head gasket, or turbo seal problem it will get worse over time. Head gasket problems typically get worse sooner rather than later. with the normal signs over heating oil leaks and mayo oil caps and so on. Only real way to know for sure is a sniff test. But I'm still sure with the milage it will be condensation. :D And shouldn't worry about spelling and grammer here we don't have grammer police or want any mainly because mine's terrible too :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay762 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 if it was more serious than as gambit suggested it would produce more smoke more often. All the mods you have done sound spot on - I would just keep it in tyres and decent brake pads. Options for the future could be uprated calipers and discs and looking at chassis mods, suspension, anti roll bars etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 You're welcome I agree with jay some good upgrades to start with helping to slow down and handling :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
