Default White Smoke

Hows it going guys...had a quick question
I have a 99 Audi A6 Avant 2.8L, Been noticing that as i drive there is white smoke that seems to eminate from under my engine. As i drive it seems to get worse...ie...if i drive for say 1/2 an hour there is more smoke than if i drive a few minutes. They are not like huge plumes of smoke, but it does smoke to the point where it is quite visible. If it does help any i did recently get my motor mounts replaced. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Nick

No way we can really tell with the information provided, but that would be a good place to look.

Good luck!

under the engine - not exhaust I assume. If it was valve seals leaking oil into the intake the smoke would come out from the exhaust (and most likely be more smokey right after you start engine after it has been sitting)

The best advice would be to try to trace the actual source location more accurately.
