Smokin'
Last night I noticed in my 420sel that when i punched it I blew smoke out the tailpipe. It looked to be white smoke. It dosent do it all the time , just sometimes when i punch it. My oil is full. Does any one think this is a bad thing?

How many miles are on the car?
Does it do it more when the car is cold as opposed to warmed up?
If so, it most likely could be valve seals.

the car has about 200,000 miles. I know about two years ago the heads were rebuilt. I only notice the smoking sometimes.
