    oil leak?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I started up my car yesterday and 3-4 seconds later i noticed this cloud of bluish smoke go across my lawn. My car has never done that before, and im really hoping it was a car accelerating out of the traffic light at the bottom of my driveway. I have heard of other audi guys burning oil but does it ever com e out as a cloud of smoke like that? My car had only been sitting for 5-6 hours when it happened.

    i am willing to bet it was another car at the traffic light, only one way to find out... start it up again and see what happens

    Did you start it up, run it briefly, shut it down, then restart it? If so, don't panic. That's normal. My 04' used to do it all the time. My 05' doesn't, but I had the 04' checked out at my dealer and they said it was normal behavior for the 4.2L engine under those circumstances.
    A couple of Audi's later...
