but your smoke may be the oil dripping on the exhaust pipes... and sometimes the starter is known to act up. Mine used to do it intermittenly where the key would turn and just click away, but after a few turns the starter would be okay.
Thank you, I knew where the smoke was coming from, but what amazes me is that my fluid levels are all good. Now about the starter, I just took it out and am going to take it down to be tested because of the way it sounded the last time I tried to start it. The starter sounded like the battery was dying, but the battery is brand new and my headlights are still bright even in the daylight I can see them against the wall of my carport. The oil leak is scary because it looks like a combination between a head, valve cover, and front main gaskets. If I can get a new starter in and ge5t her to crank over she's hitting the shop asap. Thanks for the reply. Maybe this will help others to diagnose the problem as well.
