Hey, all.
We have a 2005 LR3 that had no prior known issues and recently started smoking pretty heavily from exhaust- only for a few (3-5) seconds at startup... Looks more white but upon closer observation today, might be slightly blue. The smell is hard to identify b/c it smells slightly like burning plastic but also slightly like fuel- really no strong odor to it. The weirdest part is- after having 2 mechanic friends check things out, there doesn't appear to be any crossing or loss of fluids, and it runs perfectly fine. Only other issue was a misfire on only cyl 2, 4, 6, 8 found a few days ago when codes were read- it was cleared and hasn't reoccurred. We bought this recently and dealer did say he washed under hood (who does that?!) Not sure if that has anything to do with it. Maybe water somewhere it shouldn't be? It's going to garage tomorrow (dealer paying!) But I'm not totally stumped here and hoping someone might've seen something similar? Thanks in advance!
