hey guys so this is my issue. got caught speeding on the highway and my little ek1 has been in my garage for around a month. i started it a week after it has been sitting and it was fine. i didn't start it for a further two weeks because i wasn't bothered and work had me going all day and night. a few days ago i started my car and noticed that a lot of steam or "whitish" smoke coming out my exhaust. its not a very thick smoke but im not liking how its doing this.
could this be because i have not driven it for a while? could it be that the petrol in my tank is going bad? or could it be that my engine is burning up coolant?
i have noticed the coolant reso to be a little lower but im not to sure as the readings ive monitored have had different results.( as in not sure if its actually losing )
when i do start it. i allow it enough time so the rad fan kicks on. And if im sure, that is a sign that the thermo opens correct?
im still new to all this. any help will be appreciated
