95 C4 weird smoke

- Issue: Smoke from back of LT1 engine bay when warmed up.
-It is almost a clear smoke not heavy in any white/blue.
-intake manifold looks good no wet or new oil seen.
-valve cover gaskets looks good as well as heads.
- looked at EGR(pushed diaphragm wanted to stall)
I just do not have a lift and ramps does not give me the space to really get around transmission and cats to look for something else.

any ideas?

Re: 95 C4 weird smoke

Maxwedge, Thank you for a reply and welcoming me to the forum! I don't see a loss of coolant as of now. as far as the coolant smell, I might have got a whiff of it at one time, but not constant or readily smell it when the smoke is there. The smoke is weird only when warmed up and when I hit the accelerator it will come out. I was thinking maybe an exhaust leak... but what do you suspect with the coolant? They isn't a distinct smell with it which throws me off. A little back ground, I know the history of repairs since it was two years old... it did have a new manifold intake gasket done and there doesn't appear to be any leaks. The car has been stored every winter and not driven for the last 5 years. I changed the oil, and no coolant or smells there. I replaced the tranny speed sensor seal. and no dummy warning lights are lit. I can try and get a video.
