Yesterday when I started my car there was alot of white smoke coming from the tailpipe however afetr I drove it about a mile it stopped and didnt do it anymore until I started it this morning it did it again. Is it trying to tell me that the engine is bad? Thats what I originally thought but since it stopped I was puzzled. Any help would be appreciated..

How many miles are on your SL2? Does the smoke smell "sweet"? How cold was it when it did this?

i have 155,000 on my sl2 and its manual. It could be a bit sweet smelling but Im not sure. It was about 47 degrees outside at the time but its 70 out there now and it is still doing it.

check coolent and oil levels. tomarrow, watch real close to see if its pure white smoke or if it has a grayish/blue tint to it.

it may be typical condensation, coolent, or oil

ok
My mechanic figured out my problem. I feel kinda dumb but the smoke was due to the fact that I over filled the crankcase with oil and slick 50 about a quart and a half causing the smoking. I am so relieved now that I know my motor isnt trashed. I just want to thank everyone who gave me advice though. I think this forum is fantastic and the people on it are incredible.. Thanks alot!!
