White smoke.
Hi. Yesterday, I came to a stand and white smoke bellowed from what seemed to be the front drivers side of the engine. This smelled really strong like bbq lighting fluid. I had no loss of power and checking today, I've lost no fluids. Can anyone help?
Sorry, it's a 2008 vector estate.
Thanks

Not sure what BBQ fluid smells like. If it was a sweet smell, it could be coolant leaking. You really have to get into the engine bay and try to find the source of the leak. Check for coolant hoses or connectors that may be leaking near the radiator and coolant pump.
