Is this normal? N20 weird fumes/smoke
Hi guys,
So my car is a 2012 F10 with 17.5k miles. Today when I switched off the engine and opened up the engine Bay just to check coolant level etc...noticed these weird fumes. In the video if you look closely you can see the air moving near the base of the engine. Not sure what’s causing this. Anyone experienced something like this before? Any help is appreciated!Thanks! |

Also to give background...nothing on the car has been replaced yet except for engine mount, water pump, air filter, oil filter and rear brake pads. Everything else is what came from factory including the oil gaskets due to the Low mileage of the car.

Hot air rises and you can see the "heat waves". Ever look at hot asphalt in the distance? You can see the same "waves".
I didn't see anything, but if you're seeing what looks like distorted air rising I would suspect it's just the very hot air rising. |
