Weird smell

[v8killah]

Well lately after my engine warms up there seems to be a strange smell coming from the enginebay. It smells kinda like nailpolish remover that kind of alcholy smell.

anyone know what this could be?

could be stuff burning off... did you clean it recently? if not something may be leaking... blown headgasket, but that should be a sickly sweet smell

never clezned it no, and i just noticed 1 puff of white smoke come out of the tailpipe when i started it up.... how much to change a headgasket?

The difference in price between doing it yourself, and getting it done is fairly large. Its a lot of time (=labour costs), but the gasket itself is cheap.
