I have been getting some smoke off and on for a while since buying my Forester. At first I believed it had to do with the leaky power steering pump but I replaced that recently.
Typically I get the smoke coming from when I have been pushing the car a bit, particularly driving in Sport Mode. My wife pointed out the correlation with sport mode and the smoke. Case in point, did a climb today from about 4500 feet to a little over 7000 at 55-65 mph and had the car smoking at a rest stop for the kiddos.
I would like to hear what you all think. The smoke has an oily smell to it and from what I can tell is the result of something burning off of the exhaust manifold.
Thank you and please don’t hesitate to ask for more details if needed. I will do my best to provide them.
