occasional random puffs of white smoke is often something odd in the oiling system letting occasional bursts of oil into the intake...


do not use snake oil products best case they do nothing, worst case they cause long term harm...
too late products already used . Fingers crossed.
problem was already there before catch can install. PCV valve is also new.

If you use anti leak products look at AT-205. Will not turn the seals into mush. It gets good reviews. I used it in my Trans and it stopped all leaks. Take a look at it.

Will drop the car to a mechanic in 3 weeks to change harmonic balancer, all pulleys, belts. Will ask him to take a look at that white smoke issue.
