schemauk Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Evening guys, Has been a relatively nice evening, so thought I'd take the Supra out for a spin (my Dads friend wanted to have a look round her and have a listen, so seeing as the engine was on and warm it seemed rude not to! ) Anyway, I took her out for a rather hard drive, nothing ridiculous but may have slipped the clutch a tad at one roundabout thanks to one pain in the arse BMW who's indicators didn't seem to work... When I got back, I opened the bonnet up, and could see a very light smoke coming from the very back of the engine bay. No colour to it, just very light white smoke... Was wandering if this was normal? Left her to stand for 10 minutes, just want back and started it up again and all seems to have cleared - Im probably being over paranoid, but better safe than sorry, eh? Cheers in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rummy Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Check the heater water hose at the rear of the engine. They can sometimes split and spray coolant under load Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schemauk Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Will have a little dig around when I get back from work tomorrow, cheers for the advice. Its pretty central as far as I can tell, if that helps at all, and there is no smell other than the normal hot engine smell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 white smoke Well it'll be water then, where was the temp gauge needle sitting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schemauk Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Nothing out of the ordinary, it tends to hover around 80 - 90 on the Defi gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schemauk Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Do you mean this by any chance? There is a very light coating of coolant around the seal where something is obviously not quite tight enough, and can see on the metalwork below where there has been some sat and burnt in the past. Edit: Sorry for the lack of arrows or indication on the photo, I hope you can figure out which one I'm talking about :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Josh was referring to the hose that on your engine has been replace with a blue silicone item I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraLEDrears Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I had this but it was a hole in the exhaust manifold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
