Smoke coming from engine
I did a cvv change this weekend (would anyone like a DIY?) and smoke started coming out for a few minutes but stopped completely and haven't done so in the last 24 hrs. However, I did spot this burnt area and would like to see if anybody knows where this is coming from. Thanks.

When you bled the clutch, did some clutch/brake fluid drip onto the exhaust perhaps?

i opened up the bay to see the spark plugs and saw that there was some leakage. I'm thinking of doing a full spark plug replacement and valve cover gasket.
I found the nuts, spark plugs and valve cover gasket from pelican bay auto but don't know where i can find the rubber grommet that some people are saying we need to replace. |

I would love a CCV diy for BMW z4, I just ordered the parts and I started disassemble the air box etc and found that it is different from the bavauto videos. Any pointers are appreciated. |

Unless your car was formerly owned by Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong, let's hope it was just some excess oil burning off.
