Default Help me! I think somethings wrong with my exhaust!
I've noticed that my exhaust has been blowing puffs of smoke. Nothing's leaking or anything, it's just clear smoke. Should I be concerned about this? It's cold out at this time of year, could it be condensation? Should I get it checked up???? HELP!

Default Sounds like you've got an "air leak" in your engine.
Make a service appt. with your local dealer. Tell him the "factory air" may be leaking out through your exhaust. It should be covered under warranty.

it's called clear smoke because you can't see them while you're driving!

Default He is probably just seeing the heat rise from his exhaust pipes....
I wonder what he would do if he saw the flames that come out of my exhaust. :P
