Is this normal? - exhaust
This is a new to me C7. I see some light smoke occasionally and wonder if it's normal. It's a cooler day and if you watch until the end you can see there is water vapor actually dripping. Car was up to temperature and the outside temperature was around 55 degrees. Oil level on the dipstick looked high but I want to wait until it's cooled down and settled more to verify. Seemed to be over the marker and touching the braided part.
