When travelling down a light grade (3-4%) this morning, my 74 2.0L let out quite a bit of smoke. Basically, I was in 3rd gear, roughly 3,000 RPM, foot OFF the gas, clutch pedal NOT depressed.
Where is this likely coming from? Something dripping on the heat exchangers? |

You need someone to drive behind you and have them determine if the smoke is coming from the tail pipe. What you describe(smoke on decel) indicates worn valve guides.
