[Solved] Lexus LS 430 smoking

Topic starter

Hello, I recently bought a lexus ls430 with 113k miles on it and while I have the service records on it its turning out to be a bit of a lemon. Anyway I notice a small amount of thin light-ish smoke rising up near the upper left-hand side of the engine (assuming I am standing in front of the car facing towards it). The smoke smells differently than my exhaust which has no smoke. I cant see anything wet nearby. I don't know if this is related to my radiator which is leaking at the moment, but the coolant is dripping very slowly and the level is decent. The drips are way on the other side of the engine bay. I don't think it is overheating as my temperature sensor is normal and I am not getting any codes or rough idle. What could this smoke possibly be?

Well cool and a small oil smoke transmission fluid smoke you have to figure out what is a leaking if you use UV leak dye in a system then you will see the green guy coming out with a UV light and sunglasses you can get kids for about 30 bucks to check it all
