Got a potential problem
So yesterday I was driving and everything was fine
then after about 30min of driving around town I noticed something
Its summer and my exhaust was putting out a good amount of white smoke everytime i accelerated from a stop
and my temp gauge was running just a smig too hot like one bar over half way
I checked the radiator fluid and it was at a decent level and everything else looked fine
any suggestions as to whats going on?
cause I cant figure it out and thats not normal
so I want to get it fixed before its a real problem

RE: Got a potential problem
My bad I was saying temp sender for the gauge reading one bar over half
pure white smoke/steam is coolant and will have a sweet smell
In my case the offwhite/grayish smoke that I had was from oil burning and it smelled like burning oil (at a loss for what else I could use to describe the smell) when I pulled off my old intercoolers/piping I found oil all the way from the charge pipe to the throttle body I cleaned the hoses out before reinstalling them and then drove 50 miles to test out my new FMIC and the smoke that I used to see all the time is now gone and so far there is no oil in the piping.
Since you said your coolant is not low maybe pull the hose off your throttle body and look for oil
