18' M240i White Smoke
Hey all, today I was driving to work. Super cold at night. Turned the car on this morning like normal. Everything’s great. Warmed up the car and headed out.
Traffic to work for about 8 miles turned into an hour drive in stop and go traffic. crazy. About 40 minutes into my drive, stop and going, I have my heated seats and my steering wheel on for heat. Out of nowhere I start feeling stutter with my foot on the brake. Then I start seeing smoke behind me. Thick white smoke coming from the pipes. I couldn’t see the car behind me. I panicked, turned the car off with my emergency signals for a good minute. Restarted the car and hopped on the shoulder and stopped the car. No indications on my screen that something was wrong. Waited and then eventually pulled over again to the nearest exit to check my car. Coolant levels are good everything’s good. Drove it home. This was a normal drive, no smoke! What the heck! I get on my driveway and come out and find my driveway to be covered from my car liquid. Looks like something is leaking coolant. Exhaust- if I put my face to my tailpipe and smell it, it’s a weird smell. Leak from the front driver side. Towards the very front. Wonder what could’ve caused this? Anyone know? |

One thing may have caused the other. It sounds like this thread... https://www.2addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=1980136

If you coolant tanks are full I doubt it is related. Would probably still have the PCV checked. |
