well im pretty sure...thats what my folks said it was when i asked them to watch...i hope its just the o rings. i also have an exhaust leak some where which i have yet to attend to. maybe the 2 together made the smoke appear whiter? i dunno. thanks for the help! if anyone else knows anything, please post!
