Okay ive already tried searching and couldnt find anything.
Ever since i bought the 240 it never had white smoke come out of the exhaust except when i ran seafoam through which was like 2 weeks ago. After that it never smoked ever. But all of a sudden this morning i start her up and i look in my rear view mirror and see a big white cloud of smoke... so i let it idle for a while to see what happens the the smoke slowly faded away. This is the first time it has happened. I turned off the engine to see if it did it on startup, but it didnt do it again, i guess im going to try again when it is cold again to see what happens. I read that white smoke could be coolant burning? Also heard that it might be a bad gasket? My friend told me to do a compression and leak down test. Anything else i should do and/or look for?
