no smoke should come out from anywhere in engine bay or u looking at problems.
unless know personally some chemical got in there or traced some sort of it previously to void that claim

I know some spray WD40 on the bay after cleaning and that will cause it to smoke after a regular drive. Otherwise run.

Sure, nothing wrong with a smoke after a test drive. Some people even have a smoke after making love with their girl/boy friend. Probably not so good for your health, but, hey, its still a free country.

why are you bumping this? no healthy engine smokes after a test drive... do you honestly think smoke is supposed to come out of the engine bay?

the smoke was coming from the turbo manifold cause it was heating up. I'll take it to the shop to check it out for you.
