i've seen white smoke coming out of the forester exhaust in the mornings, both in the carpark on on the roads.

pretty new car too with SMK carplate. 

Maybe that's me...haaa...but it's quite concerning when it's daily for more than 2 weeks

Yes, only morning cold start. I have been checking each time I start the car, at different time of the day, for the last 2 weeks.

I am not quite sure where is the coolant, although I have some idea. *paiseh* But I will check.

Thanks

Hi Battman,

Common and everyday when I looked for it in the colder mornings  .. have bigger kakimoto tailpipe finish that even collect water droplets (and soots) and no exceptional coolant being depleted.

Subaru technicians did not "smoke" you ... this time and no worry unless also throwing smoke at noon time.

Cheers.

Thanks Richard. But I am experiencing during warm mornings too. Just that it is lesser smoke. And still last for more than 5mins.

Hi Battmann,

Sorry to hear .. unfortunately no experience then.

Hope you can see if indeed coolant as someone advised or eo level dropping usually fast which then help understand the cause(s)n to fix asap.

If not mist from typical morning cold air, it has to be something else like coolant or eo.

Cheers,

Richard

Finally managed to checked the coolant, which seem fine. But I noticed there's actually water droplets at the edge of the exhaust even in the middle of a hot day, like today.  Is that normal? I am wondering where did the water droplets come from, when the weather is so hot.  Any advice?

EO, Fuel that you used and coolant play a part, however since car is new, let it run for 1K then decide

Aiya, no worries la, your Car healthy la. 

when engine run with Vapor  atmosphere are you see steam at exhaust pipe and condensation take place, water droplets  found.

mostly engines with serviceable pistons rings will has this droplets which is steam.

fuel and air burn during compression inside piston and water vapor turn in steam and discharged there.

these steam usually happen morning or place with high humidity.  

If found, blue smoke meaning your piston rings up lorry liao.

If you have water vapour coming out from your pipe.

it mean your engine is very good,

it has achieve complete combustion or stoichiometric combustion.
 

blue n black smoke is the one that you do not want to see
