i did paint them before installing. but the thing i noticed is when you but your hand over the opening that the fan would blow into you could feel almost a vacuum type feel to it. the smoke stopped after a period of time but it still has me a bit worried. could the exhaust tube infact have a hole in it with no signs of rust through on the outside of the exchanger it's self.
