No biggie? Why is it something easy to fix? Please let me know because I've noticed that I've been getting a huge amount of white smoke every start up. The car usually needs to sit for atleast 2 hours before I see it again. But every time I start it up. PooF.. It's freakin embarressing!

Dude,

Turn the frown upside down...marinate a brisket, put it behind the pipes and make a picnic out of it. What do you think the ladies want huh? I ride around the skid pad in the mystery smokin' machine or a nice marinated smoked brisket with white bread and pickles? Damn, I should be Dr. Phil...who else has a problem they want me to fix.

Run a search on PPBB.COM or RENNTECH. There was a thread that explained the whole Oil Separator replacement(with pics) in detail. The Oil separator will run you around $120-150 from the dealer. Its a relatively simple R&R job. Just remember that the car would still smoke for SEVERAL minutes after the replacement bec. it will burn off the oil left in the system.
