There are several things you didn't mention doing but either way you can do checks, next time you shut the car off hot pull the plugs and see if steam comes out any of the plug holes. If it does smell it. You should be able to smell the difference between coolant, fuel or oil . Smell the smoke next time you start it.Reflex paint by Langeman...Lifted...Tow Rig
