    Exclamation Engine was smoking earlier

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Earlier today I did a nice little run with a bike (couldn't make out what bike it was). I pulled by a few cars and the guy gave me the . Anyway, I started to smell what turned out to be burning oil. When I parked, I opened the hood to find smoke coming from what looked like under the MAF, or just around that general area and when I opened the oil cap, a little smoke came out of there as well. Also, there are no coolant leaks AFAIK.The smoke went away after a while and everything was fine after. I did notice a few drippings of oil on the pavement after I moved the car. This is the first time that this has happened. From what I've searched and read so far it seems like my valve cover gaskets may need replacing, but I am not sure. This may be no factor whatsoever but today was one of the most humid days around my area in a while. Engine is stock except for AWE rsk04 kit, diverter valves, intercooler, piggies and twin2. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

    Forgot to mention that it didn't look like it burned too much oil

    99% certain it's your valve cover gaskets and/or cam chain tensioner gaskets. Just do this complete kit and you're done: http://www.blauparts.com/proddetail.asp?prod=GF21002

    I'll order the kit, thanks. It can be fun to downsize the S4 to help give passengers a more unexpecting surprise when they get a ride
