Smoke from Engine..but no warning lights?
So I took my car on a cruise this weekend. Upon coming home, I noticed that smoke was coming out of the engine bay. Opened the hood and a plume of white smoke came out. Now it smells like something is slighly burning after driving.
However, oil temps are fine (no oil consumption issues) and no sensors have tripped. No fluid is leaking. Drives fine as well. Any idea WTF is going on? Taking it in to be checked on Wed.

check your coolant levels and report back. Let the car cool down and remove the radiator cap and see if you can see fluid in there. Sounds like you are running low on fluid or could be a head gasket like the other bose bumping buddy.

Dave I had a tiny rip in one of mine and it was throwing grease everywhere in a circular pattern right behind the hub. I asked my local mechanic how much to rebuild and his answer was "You're better off buying a used half axle and replacing that". So I called the local dealership where a friend of mine is the parts manager. OTD price for a regular Joe that called for a new half axle? Over $900, my discounted price $500. So I went to ebay, bought one with 32,000 miles, and paid $68 total shipped for my part. Took me less than an hour to swap them out.
Hopefully your dealer can fix it reasonably.
