Default My cruze is smoking. Help

I recently did an oil change and had it checked with no leaks it anything. About a week later I have white smoke coming from under the hood and a burning smell. There's a couple of small oil drips on the ground but nothing else. I can't find the leak though. Had anyone else had this problem, if so what is or was it?

I am sorry you are experiencing this issue with your Cruze vehicle. Would you please PM or email me the last 8-digits of your VIN, so I may check my resources for any known issues?

I look forward to your reply.

MsKaution: Welcome to the forum.

Can you tell what the white smoke smells like?

If it is sweet, it's antifreeze, and white smoke is what is suspect.

It smells like a burning rubber smell. Not sweet at all
