Default Brief Smoke at Header After SeaFoam

Hi,

Did the induction cleaning with SeaFoam (thanks to DiscoMike for the info and patience!). Not as much smoke as I had expected by reading the post, though I did get a good 2 minutes of neighbor smoke screen. I did notice that I was getting a bit of smoke from the joint between the passenger side exhaust header and the pipe.... Nothing too serious, and it went away... has anyone experienced this? Indicative of a slight exhaust leak, I would assume?

Thanks

Jason

The smoke can be normal, usually a sign of a failing exhaust manifold gasket.
Something didn't work righ, you should have had excessive smoke while driving hard for at least 20 minutes.

Just to clarify, I got a ton of smoke *(massive amounts to smoke out the neighborhood), but only for acouple minutes... When I took it out for a drive, it did smoke for 20 minutes or so, but not massive amounts... looked more like driving with an oil leak in a valve guide....
