Angry Grrrrrrrrrrrrr smokin'

Had a problem with the scoob for over 12 months now. Been through 2 services and I explained the problem [Subaru Dealer] but they just shrug their shoulders and say they can't find anything wrong and can't get the car to smoke.

Took it out for a drive yesterday [nice and warm it was], picked up the missus.

Stood the car, nose up, on a hill and after about 30 seconds plumes of white smoke.

It's only when its nose up as I was in a jam facing downhill and no problem.

The car doesn't eat oil.


What is it please I'm sooooooooooooooo bloody frustrated.

Cheers

Roo

PS Nowt wrong with the turbo as they checked that over.

White smoke would indicate water. Head gasket?

That's what I thought and have been told a few times.

But why only when nose up?

Master cylinder gland seal is leaking into the servo and the vacuum is pulling it into the inlet manifold and the engine is burning it off. check your brake fluid
