when i start my LS400 a big cloud of white smoke comes out my exhaust! any answers? i do have a power steering leak....and the cam and crank seals is leaking oil.....
Had the same problem with my 97LS about three weeks ago.Turned out to be water in the gas.Added one bottle of "HEET" to the gas tank and let the car idle for a few minutes and the problem disappeared.
