I changed the oil today on my beast, brought it around back to wash it and left it runnin.. honestly I forget it was runnin, washed my car and it basicly idled there for a good 30-40 mins.. After washing, shammying etc, I backed her up and she started puffin white clouds. Got someone to verify it was coolant. Now she burnt it for about half a KM then went away totally. shes been on and off about 5 times since then and ive put about 40 kms on her since and theres no Smoke, lots of coolant in the rad and the overflow is still full. Ive never had a prob with smokin b4 or now that I think of it, left it idling for that long. What do you guys think it was?.... or is?

sure it was coolant?

its possible you just overfilled the oil.

or sometimes if the turbo seals are going bad it will start to smoke when at idle for a bit.

if everything looks cool, i wouldnt worry about it too much.

Im not 110% sure what the smoke was but i had someone who was following me yell to me that it smelled like coolant. But yes, I believe i did overfill the oil, It calls for 4.4 Litres of oil and I put just under 5.. maybe 4.8 litres. I checked the dipstick after some agressive driving and a cooldown and the oil was JUST above the F on the stick. I hope everything is ok.
Oh and I checked for turbo seals but everything is dry and there is no oil in IC pipes or anything.
