Went to drive my 02 Box tonight and noticed continual smoke coming from exhaust.

I can't tell the color very well but looks light gray and generally smells like exhaust that is a little heavy on fuel/oil.

I let the car run for a minute or so and the smoke continued at the same pace.

No CEL.

A thread search indicator AOS might be the culprit.

Does it sound like it would be safe to drive it to the shop (10-15 minute drive)?

Thanks for any input.
