Message received! Thanks.

I'm calling to see if my ext. warranty will cover the towing.

I had smoke issue too. Thought it might be an AOS. Tried the ol "open the oil cap while the car is running trick" but nothing happened for me. Turned out to be an oil pressure switch had failed.

Do you have noticable oil stains under the car? Can you see where drips are coming from?

No oil stains under the car - no dripping that I can see.

I tried the car yesterday and no smoke at all. I let it run for about 10 minutes.

The night prior, it kept smoking the entire time the car was running.
