Good Evening,
I have a semi-severe problem with the 'S'
When I start it I get a white smoke out of the exaust. She runs normally exceptthe exaust. Has anyone had this prob before. The reason that I am asking is because I have to put her in the shop and I would like to know what the prob could be so I dont get taken. Any help would be aprecieated. Thanks

Sounds like a leaking head gasket. Check the coolant level in the overflow bottle and if it is a little low, that is probably it.
Not very orthodox, would be to park the car at night and with the engine still hot, loosen the coolant cap using a large towel to relieve the pressure and see if there is white smoke when you start it up in the morning. Don't scald your self in the process.
