White smoke in Engine bay
So my BRZ has 407 miles and it was stored away during winter. So today I took it out for a drive and after the drive I notice white smoke in the engine bay. Is this normal?

Use a paper towel and check your passenger side rear cam plate seal for oil.

It is normal, but it shouldn't happen. This is a problem from factory, and I wouldn't worry about it because there isn't much oil leaking from there. You can fix it though, pretty simply.

Drove it around again and this time no smoke, it's probably oil build up from being stored away this winter. But thank you all for your response, I appreciate it.

Exactly what happened with my car after winter storage. It was from the cam plate leaking also.
