mplavery Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 This is simple condensation lol, you guys are simply scaremongering this guy! If it's cold and damp outside, most Supras will throw this amount of "smoke". All mine was doing this over a years and none of them ever had any problems with headgasket/coolant leaks/oil burning. If it stops once Supra is warm than you have nothing to worry about. Think if you read a few posts back the car was up to temperature and still doing it The temp goes to about half way and stays there. It warms up gradually. Takes about 10 minutes. And i agree. It looks a lot like coolant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I leave my car 5-6 weeks a time during winter (on a driveway outside) and i dont get half as much smoke as that from a dead cold start IMO in a heated garge for 6 weeks at this time of year (hardly jack frost weather) it shouldnt be doing what its doing in that video, especially if its already been running a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Mine is single turbo and when its cold I get a fair bit but like DNK but with a faint oily smell, once is warmed up no probs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabella Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Depends on his make of exhaust etc, may have collected a lot of water in there, as others have said use it for a while and if stays then it's not just water in exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 You need to zoom out more, but Ill 99% say thats condensation. Cars dont just blow up being parked for a few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Run it for a while, check coolant level, that simple really, or do a sniff test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackyBoi Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Could also do a coolant pH test if you think it could be the head gasket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabella Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Started mine today, been stood for 2 weeks, the condensation was gone within 5mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k222bye Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) UPDATE The HC sniff test turned out to be good thank God. Followed the procedure, ran car for 20 mins. Watched smoke which was pretty thick but cleared up. Did the sniff test and fluid stayed blue. Did the test 3x and it stayed blue each time. Then i got the tester and put it in the exhaust and immediately the fluid turned yellow. SO NO BHG! It was me just being extremely paranoid but better safe than sorry. Coming from a scooby i have never ever seen a car smoke that much. On a side note my nephew wanted to race. But I accepted defeat. No point fighting a lost battle.

Dnk Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) Good news then but i'd of done the test with the tester actually on the radiator Edited March 25, 2017 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k222bye Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 Good news then but i'd of done the test with the tester actually on the radiator I tried but it didn't fit so i let the coolant circulate for while and did this test 3x. Even took a sample of coolant from radiator and did the sniff test on that. Still blue. I'll try get an adapter that comes with them anti spill funnels and do it with them.
