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. Would you say it's a lot?
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. 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?

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