Hi fellow listers -
I'm forwarding on a question that I have also sent to Irv Korey who is a
local lister and fellow club member, but I'm looking for all the input I can
get. If anyone else has had this problem I'd love your insight. Please
remember that I'm a mechanical zero - I just don't want to hurt my car. If
you have additional questions about the symptoms, I'm only all too happy to
elaborate.
Thanks & regards,
Paula Keats

Hi Irv -
I'm seeking your wisdom again. Here's the problem - I've taken the 6 out
numerour times since you were nice enough to proclaim it sound. Most of the
trips were of the 10 minute drive variety as I took it on an errand. However
the two times I have had it out for about a half an hour, here's what
happens: the temp gauge starts showing hot (uncomfortably close to the red
line), I seem to have lost some of the oomph when I am accelerating, when I
take that car out of gear as it is rolling it slows much more quickly than it
does normally, and most disturbingly, a fine, light white smoke begins to
emerge. So today, on my way home from work, these symptoms arise again. The
radiator and the overflow bottle are full, oil level is good so I'm guessing
it's not those. So, I hurry home praying for no stoplights. When I pull in
to my parking spot, I leave the car running and pop the hood. Then I notice
that the smoke seems to be coming from the right front wheel well and there
is a great heat eminating from the wheel area (more so than from the other
three wheels). Any clue as to what this could be? None of these symptoms
show up when I have the car out for only short trips. I'm stumped, but I'd
like to diagnose the ailment.
As always,
thank you!
Paula Keats
