Causes of White Exhaust Smoke

If your not overheating or losing coolant, its more than likely engine oil burning. If it is coolant related, possible blown head gasket.

If you have white smoke coming out of the exhaust after the car warms up then you have coolant getting into the cylinda white smoke after start up when the engine is cold is normal intill everything warms up

Think Head Gasket

White Smoke is coolant

if its a little white smoke its probably just burning off condensation, if its allot it could mean a coolant leak, how much smoke is it?

white smoke is a sign of water leak in the head or head gasket

Hi!

What type of smoke can you see---

white smoke-
If you see a wispy, lingering white smoke that has a bittersweet smell, this is an indication that your car's engine coolant is leaking into the combustion chambers. This may be due to a leaky head gasket, or in a worst case scenario, a cracked cylinder head.

Make sure to take your car to the shop right away to get it fixed.
Thick white smoke---
If your vehicle is belching white smoke upon start-up, it is a sign that transmission fluid is entering the combustion chambers, possibly though a vacuum tube that connects the engine to the transmission.
This type of smoke can be confused with the normal puff of steam during start-up. If you are not sure, have your car inspected at the shop.

Blue/White Smoke--
A blue/white smoke is an indication that oil is being sucked into the combustion chambers through the valve guides. A quick fix for this problem is by replacing the valve seals. Valve seals are small, umbrella shaped pieces of rubber.

Do rate the solution.

Thanks

is car consuming any antefreeze? does the temp fluctuate? on worst case, you could be looking at poss. headgasket problem white smoke is usually antifreeze. black smoke is fuel, and gray smoke is oil

white smoke is water
blue smoke is oil.
nest time try and smell the white smoke see if it smells sweet?
if it does its antifreeze.
and also black smoke is fuel (like a leaky injector )
hope this helps
