When I start the car smoke pours out of the exhaust and from under the car?
I can only assume that oil is burning somewhere in the car. There are no oil patches though on the ground.
The engine runs rough when started then slowly becomes ok. The engine also sounds off note and the smoke only comes out when I start once driving its not noticable.
