a light smoking coming form my engine

[carbed87]

yeah, so when ever i pop open my hood lately, i see a light poof of smoke exit the engine bay, it looks to be grey, i checked my pcv valve and all my major vacum lines, and there all intact... what else could this be?

im pretty sure its coming from the back area of my engine bay
uuuuuuuuuggggghhh!!!!!!!!!!!
my car's been giving me so many problems lately
any suggestions on that smoke?

I like your thinking. WHen even a drop of oil hits hot exhaust, it will give off a plume of smoke.

The valve covers often leak on the backside (amongst other things). I would clean up the motor and watch it while idling and note any new snail trails of oil that you see.

Good luck.

Yup, the valve covers or back of the lower intake are the usually areas of oil leakage. This oil is hitting the hot exhaust pipes.

both of those gaskets are new... it could be valve cove though, i guess i'll have to check

alright, i checked, and it looks like FUEL? is leaking, or like purging from top and bottom of my intake spacer
does that sound right?
if thats correct, i guess just replace the gaskets right?
