Hey everyone! I'm a new owner of a 2008 SL55. It's an amazing car. I've had it a couple of weeks and I'm just noticing the car smokes heavy for a while after hard acceleration and then stops smoking after a couple miles. Any thoughts on where to start looking? Anyone had experience with this?
Thanks

Hard to tell without seeing it but valve cover gaskets tend to leak on these cars. Maybe its leaking on the header?

check the spark plugs and do a compression test or leak down on the engine
