    Okay guys patulong lang po.

    I got this used EK hatchback and it was okay for few days and then suddenly upon starting up, some smoke came out from the hood. I didnt try to turn off the engine and after few minutes, the smoke disappeared and I was still able to run the car (Just tested around the neighborhood to see if it would break down). Car seems to be okay though except for the smoke everytime I start. Quite disturbing,

    What could have been the cause of the problem? Can I have an estimate how much I would spend to have it repaired (worst case scenario price).
    Advise would be appreciated. Thanks

    Check for any oil or gas leaks, oil could be leaking on the exhaust. It is a lot of smoke? What color is the smoke? What does it smell like?

    Hatak ka sir ng kasama, and let him/her start the car for you, and ikaw harap ka lang sa engine bay para mapinpoint as to where the smoke is coming from.

    from there, malalaman mo kung ano dapat ipaayus.
