Just this afternoon, I began seeing some light smoke being emitted from the area of the engine nearest to the passenger compartment. This occured after the car had been driven and was fully warmed up and would occur as the engine was idling. This was intermittent and did not consistently stream out. It was white in color and smelled of a cross between transmissions fluid and a burning belt.

FYI,I did have some trouble starting her up today. I consistently have this problem if the car sits for more than 5-6 days without running (easy solution is to disconnect leads). Power was not an issue after recharging the battery and it appeared to be a fuel injector issue. The radiator and cooling fan were recently replaced and the check engine light came on the other day. Haven't had time to get to the local mechanic to get a read, but will do so after the holiday.

Any initial thoughts?
