Default Help! Smoking



Last night was the first frost fo the season here in Va, and this morning I went out to warm up the car. I started her then put on the heat and went inside for a minute. When I came out and got in, the interior was smoky, and smelled like something was burning. I figured the smoke was being sucked in through the vents from the engine so I poped the hood. The was a small amount of smoke coming from arounf the Intake manifold. but when I followed it down it seemed to be coming from no where. Is this just something burning off from the frost or is there another problem. It stopped after a few minutes and I drove 25 minutes to class with no problems. I keep the heat on high to see if it sucked in any more but none came in that I know of. </P>

The thing is with the cold coming I just caught one and I couldn't smell much, just that it seemed like something was burning while I was in the car, but when I poped the hood it seemed more like something was burning off. It sounds dumb but that the best way I can put it. I live in Fredericksburg(Not much here)</P>

Could it be oil if the engine is cold and if it stops a few minutes afterwards? I dont see anything being burnt out of the exhaust. What electrical things would burn?
