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?

MsKaution: Welcome to the forum.

Can you tell what the white smoke smells like?

 

Welcome, MsKaution! Make sure to browse the forum for more info about your car and feel free to post any specific questions you have about your vehicle in the tech sections.

 

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

 

what year? has the engine splash shield campaign been completed?

 

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

 

End of last year. So 2012
