2005 Mazda 6 2.3L Smoke issue
 
Hello Mazda Forum, I am new to this community and i bought my car this summer it had 120,000 KM on it and everything runs fine but it makes me concern that even in the summer in the mornings when i cold start the car after starting like about 5-10 seconds after starting it ommits small amount of steam from 2 of the exhausts for again 5 to 10 second then stops

Is this normal for this car? i am checking oil level and for oil level i am sure its not dropping even i drained the oil to look the color and its all good and put new oil, in it, i did flush the coolant twice too and it looks normal the coolant level looks good too and no overheating and its been 5 months i did not add anything to it all levels of oil and coolant looks ok,

Someone who drives the same car please help me so i can comfort my mind :)

thanks

what i read about this issue: "It could be a blown head gasket or a cracked turbo water jacket if the turbo is water cooled." Also, i think you should try to check the your coolant temps if you drive it.

If it stops after less than a minute, then you have nothing to worry about. For peace of mind, keep a eye on coolant level & oil levels.

Yes i am keeping eye on coolant but 2 days ago i did checked again for coolant level when the weather started freezing here in Canada, and it was little bit lower from the level i remember in summer when i flushed it but not very much lower little bit i mean maybe 2 fingers lower

You should be checking fluids every time you fill up with gas.
