And if small enough to only make a puff of smoke after setting, would end with dealer adding block sealer instead of doing a complete tear down. | |

| Sep 16, 2016 at 17:35 | comment | added | maplemale | I'm not 100% sure, but wouldn't there be coolant in the oil with a potential head gasket leak? The coolant would go to the bottom of the oil pan. I good check might be to drain a tiny amount off the bottom of the oil pan and see if it's water/coolant? | |

| Sep 6, 2016 at 15:48 | comment | added | OrangePeel52 | Would i see smoke the next time i drove the car, after letting it sit over night? | |

| Sep 6, 2016 at 15:35 | comment | added | OrangePeel52 | by 'burn it off' do you mean burn off all my oil/coolant? or just a little? I will check my levels but i only had thick smoke for 10 seconds, not enough time to burn a lot of fluid i think. And why would more not leak the next day, making more smoke? | |
