Smoke from Passenger Air Vent
When I started the car today after it had been sitting for 3 weeks in the garage, there was a puff of smelly blue smoke from the passenger air vent. I popped the hood with the car running and did not see anything out of place, stopped the engine, put down the roof, started her up and it was fine. Went for a drive and everything was ok although I thought I could detect the same smell of something burning or melting but not as strong as before.....Initially I was thinking it was the clutch....... Does anyone have a Clue??

Depends what it smelled like. Can you discribe it? Oily, gas, rubber, metal, urine (clutch/brakes), electrical?
Hard to pinpoint without knowing the smell.

I'd drive it a little more and see if it happens again. If it does, and it smells like clutch, toss it in the air and peek around in the inspection hole.
