Hey guys, I've been noticing alot of smoke at start-up especially after sitting overnight etc. Doesnt start right away and once it gets warmed up it stops, my coolant level is low (no leaking on the ground). Just had my oil changed last year before putting it away for winter with royal purple full synthetic by a reputable shop, the one concern I had they asked me if I had an oil cooler due to the fact the car took more than the recommend amount. They didnt mention anything to me about the oil looking like chocolate milk. The coolant doesnt appear to have any oil in it, and im assuming the metal shavings are from my water pump (hopefully).
And adding green coolant to green coolant should be ok right? Just dont mix colors? I have so all make and model coolant in the garage im assuming i used to fill it up. Might go grab some prestone 50/50.
Any help will be appreciated, who does leak down tests and compression test (I dont have an air compresser for leakdown). I've searched the hell out of this and most peoples its obviously condensation. I highly doubt mine is this case. Thanks.
Temperature outside in the video was about 50 degrees.
The embedding didnt work but I dont feel like messing with it, terrible quality videos to im gona try and get one with an actual camera.
