IceMan Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 1. power steering makes a slight screetching noise until warm (only a few minutes). 2. blue-ish feint smoke comes from the exhaust immediately after starting up for about 20 seconds-ish then loads of white steam. 3. white steam persists in fairly heavy volume (reducing gradually) for a mile or so from setting off. I'm not trying to be paranoid, just comparing notes! Ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 the slight smoke happen for me and it does steam quite heavily in the morning, I was guessing this was because of the big exhaust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 My PAS pump makes noise on cold start too. Supras seem to have noisy PAS as standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice 1) belt a bit loose - tighten / replace it. 2) Valve stem oil seals seeping a little oil over night - nothing to worry about - all cars do this to greater/lesser degree 3) standard moisure vapour in exhaust - perfectly normal Nothing to panic about at all Cheers Neil.
