Noticed today when I started the car up, that I have a little bit of white smoke coming from the valve cover breather hole, which is normally plugged with an evac line which runs to a catch can.
I understand white smoke can mean water being burned in the combustion process, or worn rings.
However, the motor is essentially brand new with about 150 miles on it, and was recently dynoed and had a compression and leak down test done while on an engine dyno a few months ago, prior to the chassis dyno. It's just a matter of coincidence that I noticed the smoke, as the fitting for the catch can came loose and I noticed the smoke.
My question is, is a little bit of white smoke normal in a forced inducted motor, and one which is new? I'm thinking that it isn't, but I wanted to ask around.
The heads have cometic gaskets, and head studs.
