    LIM gaskets don't typically create smoke...just engine death. Pull the dipstick and check to see if the oil looks milky. PCV and short trip driving cause the same buildup though.

    That's short trips. Get out on the freeway 50 miles a day and it should go away. 😉

    after you clean it, next few days later take it off, i bet you see a drip of clear water. its just condensation burning off from the oil. we all get it. short trips make it worse.
