Hey guys so about three weeks ago I was waiting in traffic on my way to school and noticed white smoke lightly bellowing out of my hood scoop, smelled like oil burning. I immediately parked and shut the engine off to investigate but when I killed the motor the smoke stopped so I didn't get a look at where it was coming from. I bought my 04' WRX last year with 136,xxx and it now has 149,259 and has never done this until the occurrence three weeks ago. Since then it has done it to me again just last Wednesday night and today while in traffic, again with the same smell of burning oil, or at least what I think the smell is. I'm definitely no expert when it comes to engines I only know the basics. My friend said it may be a valve cover gasket, but I have no clue. It has no pattern or reason to it just happens randomly. Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
