I don't know too much about cars but I do know this, smoke from under the hood isn't all that good.
I have an '87 Honda Accord, Automatic ( this car has a carburator )
I was driving home tonight and when I got home, there was a noticable amount of greyish smoke coming from under the hood. I did some quick searchin on google and found mention of blue smoke, so my first question is how blue is blue? This smoke was grey and I personally wouldn't describe it as blueish. I checked under the hood and it appears as if the smoke is coming from under the engine block, but I wasn't able to see it very well. ( Its not very bright out at 9:30pm ) All of my gauges are fine, temp is normal no oil light, etc... I checked the oil and am about 1/2 full. Its been about 4000 miles since an Oil change (I know, do it every 3000) and have it schedualed to be changed later this week. More not so good news: I have to drive about 250 more miles ( all highway ) before I get the oil changed.
Oh ya, there was a not too good smell also, unfortuniatly I am unable to describe what it smelt like.
Any help in solving this would be GREATLY appreciated,
