Default a smoke if you open the oil cap. What's wrong?
hi all,
I have a 96 A4 Quattro. with 120k on it.
When I opened my engine oil's cap today, I noticed that there is some kinda smoke coming from it.
and Ive only been driving the car around for about 15 minutes.
Is that normal?
What should I do?

thanks
