Smoke from exhaust manifold
 

Hi guys I have a 94 WRX import and have noticed that when the car has fully heated up it starts to develop smoke from the (standard) exhaust manifold. I checked under the car today for any oil or coolant leaks, but couldn't find any substantial leaks. Another thing to note was that the manifold was extremely hot compared to the up pipe etc. would this indicate a leak in the exhaust etc?

Any info or past experiences would be greatly appreciated!

ive got same on my vectra(smoke from manifold) but only when its cold.as soon as its warm it stops,thats the manifold gasket:thumb:

run u hand along the edges of ur rocker cover coz if its leaking oil onto the manifold itll burn and not hit the floor..does the smoke smell like burning oil?

Something happens to my friend and at end has been just gasket,please if are gaskets don't use ebay paper gaskets,but use OE gasket set,its cost around £15-£20.

gaskits for rockers covers on ebay arent paper they rubber and worked fine on my car..used instant gaskit as well

No gaskets for rocker cover but manifold gaskets..
