Smoke from right tail pipe
 

I've been noticing this issue more and more recently. I'm at 35,000 km and still seeing it after I turn my car off everytime. Anyone else have this issue/know if it's anything to be concerned about. I know for sure it's not just moisture cause it has the smell of something burning. Thanks for any help

Happens to me too, just assumed it was running rich.. 22,000km

What color is the "smoke" ... ??

It's a thin white fog, I'll read into that article as well, thanks

Does it smell "sweet" ... ??


I reckon the worst case it's a leaking head gasket; best case, it's just vaporized condensation.

It's just vaporized condensation. Mine does it in the cold weather too.

That's what I thought as well, I just thought it was strange because it would still happen after a 2 hour drive. You would think by that time all the condensation in the pipes would have made it out of the pipes. As a comparison I haven't seen this happen in any other car ive had after driving that time or distance especially. Its the only car in the lot that does it after a long drive like this.

I worried a bit the first time I saw it, but I realized it wasn't smoke when it dissipated waaaaayyy too quickly to be anything other than glorified steam. Smoke would've lasted more than 20" from the tip before disappearing in the cold, and since I never notice it on warm days, it didn't take too long to understand what was going on.

Ill keep an eye on it as the days get a bit warmer, I hope its nothing but if it persists every time I turn the car off or gets worse then I may elect to get it looked at since Im under warranty anyways. Thanks for the help guys.
