I have rough idle in a 4L V8 Discovery 2 I bought a few months ago and I've changed a lot of parts (see post here with symptoms and list of all work done).
I made a DIY smoke machine and have smoke coming out from somewhere deep in the engine. But I can't see where exactly:
Questions:
1. What part(s) are easy to remove to get a better look?
2. Should I connect the smoke machine to somewhere else as well to check? Currently fed in from where the MAF would be.
3. It runs lean. Is it safe to drive the car while I figure out the source/fix? Or can I damage injectors, O2s, cats, etc.?
tl;dr
- Coming from deep somewhere near the injector area? Gasket? There's also a few smaller hints here and there in my videos.
- None coming from the oil cap when removed.
- A bit coming from brake booster hose. But not much?

Here you can see it also comes out a bit up top nearer to the windshield.Air leak from booster cable:
