Hello, I recently purchased a used automatic evo x and it has 66k miles on and recently I be getting a gas smell when I turn on the ac or heater and I can see a white smoke coming out on the hood but not a lot. Do you guys have any clue?

 

Hi. Seems like you are losing fuel somewhere but that can be several different things:

• Check for leaks all the way that fuel is going thru engine, especially near injectors.
• Check if the evap tank isn't full
• Check if oil catch can isn't full if you have one

 

Do you have a catch can in your engine bay with little filters on top?

 

I don’t have catch can in the engine bay

 

Thanks I’ll check it out later day and I’ll keep y’all updated.

 

Where does the white smoke come from?

 

Where my air intake is located

 

maybe an exhaust leak? or your pcv is clogged

 

Can you post a photo of your engine bay?

 

when I get home I’ll post a picture of the engine bay

 

I’ll give that a look too because the car didn’t have an catalytic converter so the dealership put one before i bought it

 

 

Where does that clear hose on the drivers side route to?

 

That does look like a catch can hose.

 

Maybe make sure the injectors are sitting tight in the rail? Sometimes O rings can deteriorate over time and it will leak there which is a big problem.
