Hi everyone

I've a quick question about my 41000 mile old 2008 LS600HL.

 

Yesterday she started and gave out white smoke with some oil smell  to  it.  She sounded the same as usual and there are no warnings or anything. I'd not noticed this smoke before though I've owned her only since April. She ran just fine  for a 200mile round trip.

Is this normal on these?

White smoke on a petrol engine is normally steam, it will smell of oil as it will also contain combustion products also.

Had you been doing short runs before the long trip which may have caused a build up of water in the exhaust system?

I wouldn't be unduly concerned about it if the car is running OK.
