<VV> mystery smoke

[Ray Rodriguez III]

Hello all,

     Yesterday while driving the 63' Monza coupe a small but steady stream of smoke started pouring out from the right side defroster vent.  At the time the heat was on, but the defroster was off.  The smoke had no distinct smell that I noticed.

     I had no fire extinguisher on board and was just a couple of minutes from a gas station where I figured I'd be likely to find one so I kept driving and just opened a window.  Before I made it to the gas station the smoke stopped.  There is no sign of any trouble or damage and everything works fine.  I've driven the car (now with extinguisher!) short distances several times since with no problems.  I've looked up under the dash and saw nothing unusual.  

     The engine does have typical oil leaks.  I recently (about a month ago) had the bottom shrouds off and cleaned them pretty thoroughly, last summer I had the top shroud off and cleaned under there and the car has not been sitting for any long period of time since.  


     Any ideas?
