White smoke and slight burning rubber smell

**angelamarie990** · 09-14-2011

I have noticed when I am driving, there will be some white smoke coming up from under the hood. I went to go check it out and it had an oil/ slight burning rubber smell. The smoke it slightly to the left of the place were you put the oil. Any ideas as to what it might be?

Probably a bad valve cover gasket...just to toss it out there. Could also be failing LIM gaskets too.

Thats what I was figuring too. Could i drive up to 2 hrs with my car in this condition?

Could you?

Sure.

Would it be good for the car in its current condition?

Probably not.

could be a belt too. if your smelling rubber. maybe a pulley or a/c compressor is seized. i'd have a look under the hood before you drive 2 hours for sure.
