    88 accord under header smoke

    I run my car without driving for a few minutes and the engine starts smoking coming from the driversside under the header. The oil seems to be low the radiator was blown when I brought it and I replaced it with a radiator from a prelude temporaraly just so i can move it from the garage. Coolant levels are okay. My idle seems to be raising on its own the longer its running the higher the rpms go little by little. It lowers when I put into gear but raises on park. Whats going on? The oil is not milky!!! Does it need a tune up? The seller didnt tell me much it was 200 bucks so i cant complain.

    Fi right?
    thinking fast idle valve for your idle problem. look it up and screw it down some. might be a vacuum leak else where though.....

    The smoke sounds like a leaky valve cover. try cleaning off between the valve cover and the header. make it easy to spot a leak
