1987 Audi 5000 S Quattro, 2.3Liter fuel injected 5 cyl - 67,000 miles
Just got it, it has been sitting for 3 years, ran when parked, and I've had to replace the fuel pump, and it now starts fine, but the problem is after idling for 4 - 5 minutes and warms up white smoke starts coming from behind/ to the rear and below the intake manifold. Starts out as a thin stream, then builds up to a lot of smoke. Then idles rougher.

Is it consuming any coolant over time?

Don't know yet; it has been sitting for 3 years, and I've only run it for 10 minutes. Friend suggested could be the seals dried out, but wanted more input.

Does it have an odor? Smell like antifreeze or a wire burning?

Your first step is to pressure test the cooling system to determine if you have any leaks.

I've been pulling all the pine needles out of the engine compartment, and washed it out with a hose, ran it for 45 minutes, and the last of the oil / grass / pine needles / spiderwebs smoked & burned out, and now it seems fine.
I'm so sorry to have been this stupid.
Now I just need to get some new tires, and run a tank of good gas with some fuel injector cleaner thru it, and I should be ready to drive.

LOL, no problem. Just road test it thoroughly locally before going on any long trips and inspect the tires closely for cracking and dry rot.
