AIR gasket smoking? I changed my spark plugs yesterday, I removed the passenger AIR pipe for access. I lost a 10mm bolt in the process.
When I reconnected everything, I only bolted the AIR pipe with the one 10mm I had. I fired the car up and everything seemed normal, no misfires or anything, but there's small amounts of the white smoke coming from what seems the AIR pipe gasket. Should I be worried?
I thought it was a bad #2 plug/wire, but when I pulled it and all seemed fine.

Ah, now I remember that I had sprayed some WD40 to loosen a bolt and a lot of that got onto the headers. I guess the headers are just burning away the oil.
