Engine smoking!!! vortech problem
I've had a vortech for about 3000 miles and now my engine is smoking?
I think it is oil. I noticed above my exhaust tips that there was black residue from exhaust, and now when I came to a stop sign, white smoke started coming out from my engine. The temperature is normal, and it still feels like I have a lot of power, but I'm scared something is seriously wrong.
I'm in the bay area, and called Z garage, buit they are closed until jan 2nd. Are there any other places that are good with g35's

Thanks for the support. Zgarage is not open until Jan 2nd, so I have to wait until then to tow it down there and get it checked out.
One thing though...It did not loose any power and the temperature did not go up. If there was a problem with the engine, wouldn't I loose power?
Right now I'm trying to figure out how to tow it down there. I have a greddy front bumper and I'm guessing that has to come off to get it towed

check the coolant. If you have a chocolate milkshake looking antifreeze mixture, you definately have head gasket problems.
the "milkshake" is a BIG sign.
