'07 Coupe, 16.5k ... saw smoke in engine
Re: '07 Coupe, 16.5k ... saw smoke in engine
I have had this problem too, on my '06. I assumed (from the greasy lower valve cover) that it was an oil leak from the upper breather cover. Research on this forum led me to that conclusion. It doesn't happen constantly, seems like only after getting on it hard. Been like that for about a year, I'm planning on getting the seals replaced soon, and will report back if that's what the issue was. I also suspect there could be steam leaking from a small crack in the seam of the coolant overflow tank. Hopefully it's not your alternator dying.
The overflow tank is quite strong but my old tank became weak with age and let go suddenly.

Re: '07 Coupe, 16.5k ... saw smoke in engine
Hello, fired up my well maintained babied crossfire today, drove 1/4 mile to the gas station, and noticed some smoke (smelled like a burned out vaccum clean ) when I opened the hood, some light smoke was coming out of the passenger side of the engine, to the right of the fuse box, and left of the heat shield, could not see anything, opened the fuse box, nothing on fire/smoking/smell...so I dropped it off at the dealer for a quick look over, eletrical issues are a nightmare, no smoke came into the car itself....is there anything located in this are that might be a culprit? Obviously the fuse box is there, but the smoke was not coming from there..any thoughts? Thanks, care is 07 with 16.5k miles California car.

What did I do today (yesterday)
I went to get my updated registration which required an inspection. While in inspection:
1) Check engine light came on when restarted in the inspection bay (it was not on prior)
2) Driver side window decided not to work
3) the hood lift failed
4) Failed inspection
Came home and took a reading - got Crankshaft and Camshaft errors.
Ordered parts, will come in 2 days,
Left key in the ignition - seeing rear spoiler in the up position this morning = "you idiot" (dead battery).
Shakes head, what a day.
Nothing too tragic, but annoying. I have a trip coming up on Saturday, I hope to have all installed and working by then.

what did you do to your Crossfire Today
Buffed our foggy headlights with great success , I decided to change the cabin filter 😱. As I removed it lots of leaves ,pine needles and just dirt .....it was a Mercedes cabin filter it looked original ... once replaced. Interior of car smelled pretty damn good
