My car is throwing out a very lite smoke. Doesn't smell strong in fumes and their is a funny substance leaking from underneath (not oil or break fluide) Hardly smells of anything. The car doesn't miss and sound fine. Smokes allot though

Hi there,

I would be more concerned about the leak to start with, if it is a red oil it will be from the transmission, if water like it could be coolant or just excess water from the A/C drain, get the cooling system pressure tested to make sure that you don't have a small cooling system leak, start here.
