Smoke coming from the exhaust

DIGItonium

QOTD!!! There's the option of a falcon punch.

Hope it's nothing too bad. How's the temps over there? It's the 50s here, but I don't think it's enough to see cars blow out smoke.

260 degrees is no where near the temperature level where you would start worrying about head gasket failure. Do you think she was running the car at redline for an extended period of time? Burning coolant is a white smoke and will smell sweet while oil burning is indicated by blueish smoke with a burning oil smell. It is best to smell the exhaust once the car is warm as a cold start will inherently smell of unburnt fuel/particulates since the catalytic converters are not up to temp and burning off those particulates.

You're right, it shouldn't have even been in limp mode yet. Doesn't seem very likely that there is anything wrong but it couldn't hurt to take it to the dealer to be checked out.

Agreed for sure, even if there is something wrong it should be under warranty. Good luck!
