Default Wierd Smoke
When I drive my Is on the highway usually when I stop there is smoke coming from the engine bay. Has anyone ran into this issue? Does anyone know how to fix this?

Just a wild stab in the dark, I could be a valve cover gasket issue allowing oil to seep down the head and onto the header.

Did you get new headers? They usually will smoke for the first few miles
