Owner Complaints (3)
After stopping and turning off your car, white smoke began coming from under the hood on the right side, and you noticed a strong oil smell. When you restarted the engine, a low oil warning appeared on the dashboard. This combination of low oil, smoke, and oil odor suggests an oil leak or oil burning issue that needs immediate attention. A mechanic will need to inspect the engine for leaks, check the oil level, and potentially replace seals, gaskets, or other components causing the oil loss.

Your engine is leaking oil from the camshaft carrier area. The dealer sealed this once under warranty at 36,000 miles, but the same leak has returned at 80,000 miles. The fix will likely involve removing the camshaft carrier cover and resealing it with a new gasket.
