Smoke on start up? HELP !!!
Tonight it happened twice? I drove the car about 300 miles since I got it friday afternoon.. the last two times I started it it smoked once from the left exhaust once from the right it seems.
Also I noticed a knocking sound on the passenger side middle leg of the intake ? The dealer verbally told me 30 day warranty on the car its only been 3 days ! Not to mention he got the car inspected with one tire bald and the passenger side window not functioning |

I had it flatbedded there this morning they said it had a little smoke then it went away that the problem is from the car sitting for a while before I got it
I disagree I am going to pick it up tonight and I am going to go to two other mechanics I know for other opinions |

Smoke on startup can be from leaky valve seals. Not uncommon for any car with high mileage. Not much to worry about either, if that is the cause.

The car has a 30 day warranty on the engine and tranny so I want to make sure if I can get it fixed before that time I can |

Depends on what kind of smoke. If it's oil it's a normal occurance with high mileage engines...or GM trucks. If it's antifreeze then you've got big problems.
