Smoke after shutdown.

[albertmdh]

Well, my tires are shot, so I havn't been driving the supra, but I've been going out and starting it and letting it run for awhile every few days. I had the hood open, and after I shut her down, I noticed some light smoke, just visable and smelling of oil, coming from I believe the exhaust side of the engine. Oil level is fine. whats up?

Thanks guys,

albert

could have a little bit of oil leakin out somewere so that it is getting on the engines hot suface and causeing a little bit of smoke.

chances of this being a big problem?

%20 chance of problem, im leaning more towards it sounds like something isnt tightened properly. and a little oil is escaping. scrub down ur engine bay (good time to clean it too) and turn on the car and watch the engine for a while turn it off and check like crazy for leakes coming from somewere.
i had a similar problem but mine was from a hose, and it was antifreeze. the hose that sticks out of the bottom back end of the engine on the passenger side was old and cracked so a very small amount of anti freeze was escaping, like couple of drops and it was causeing the engine to steam. replaced hose and problem fixed.

I'm sure I've got little leaks everywhere, one of these days, it'll be complete hose overhaul on this baby.
