On my way back from a small road trip (approx. 220 miles), I was waiting in line for a toll booth. I had glanced over and noticed that there was white smoke coming from underneath the passenger side door a little bit. There was no scent to it or anything.

I hadn't done any heavy braking. I was on cruise with the occasional traffic light the entire time. Odd thing is, that was the only time that it was smoking. Once I pulled into my parking lot, I did a thorough check and I didn't see any leaks, didn't smell anything, or notice anything out of the ordinary whatsoever.

Any ideas? Maybe it was just the car next to me.


On a side note, I changed the rear rotors about 1500 miles ago, did an oil and oil filter change about 500 miles ago...

 

Oil change- residual oil burning off. But 500 miles should've taken care of that...

I wouldn't worry about it unless you spot it again or smell anything.

 

Just to be safe, check the oil level on the dipstick to make sure you don't have a leak. I'd probably check once a week for the next several weeks to convince myself there is no oil leak.

 

Thanks! I'll keep an eye out and check back.

 

I did a check of the oil today, and all looks well. However, the dreaded CEL came on today.

Here's the kicker. Before I did my oil change, it threw the P2195 code, but after the oil and filter change, it went away. Now it's back on. Haven't gone to Autozone for them to pull the code, but I have a feeling it may be the same thing.

I know there's a TSB in regards to this, but do you think there could be any correlation with that?
