I've been searching the forum and noticed a lot have people have had this same problem but I wasn't able to find what the final resolution was. I was sitiing in the drive thru the other day and white smoke started spewing from my tail pipe. I was idling similar to many different posts from the past. I am 100% certain I do not have a coolant leak. What was the final resolution with anybody this has happened to? Thanks a lot.

    Your PCV system needs to be cleaned up. Removal of intake manifold etc. to get at the oil separator. It can be cleaned up but FCP sells all the components separately or in a kit.
    Good luck,
