exhaust smokes

[ashah000]

After i turn off my car, my exhaust will still have smoke coming out of it for about 30 seconds then it will stop. Is there something burning in my exhaust? What is going on?

What do you mean by smoke, what color is it?? Is it white, black?? Is it winter where you live, what temperature is the outside air? Are you running the heater? This info helps for answering your question.

I guess it is a whiteish color, but it will be coming out of the car even after i turn the car off. It is winter here. It is about 10 F today. And i am running the heater.

There you go.

Whitish color usually indicates oil, however if its 10º outside and you are running the heater its just probably the exhaust gasses leaving and condensing. This usually happens for a few seconds after the engine is cut off. I wouldn't worry about it. Just my opinion.

I don't think you have any problems with the exhaust. The problem is the temperature. How could you live in such cold weather? Yesterday's high here was 78º. The bad news is though the low is supposed to reach 30º today. Time to change from shorts and a tee-shirt to pants and a tee-shirt.

i got so-cal weather and i just plain feel bad for all you guy's in the frozen world... i roll with my top down like almost everyday...

Yea the weather does suck, we just got about 7 inches of snow, and where the plows did not get to, there is still plenty of snow on the ground, so i am scooping up some of the snow with my bumper

Yeah, it must be nice to roll with your top down every day. Here in cold a$$ Ohio, I roll with the windows up about every day.

Ashah000, why don't you attach a shovel on your bumper and put that car to work. Open up your own plowing business.

What is this "snow" you speak of?
