We’ve gone from a great running engine to this literally almost overnight.
I really started noticing the smoke the last two or three times I had driven it locally. Mostly concentrated on the coolant leak (resolved by adding clamps to sleeves) but I always did see a light smoke trail from slobber tube.
I’m going to reach out to a local gentleman for advice and additional troubleshooting (let him see it with his own eyes and nose).
I need to find out what could be plugged or is failing to suddenly cause this. 95000 miles is nothing on these engines.
