Hi,
I have put my car in the shop for a simple TuneUp as part of my maintenance. When I got it back after traveling for a few miles. White smoke is already coming out of the exhaust.
Can somebody help me? what should be check first...?

Hi cammy,
Nope water level is not dropping in the radiator. I've got one mechanics check the engine and spark plugs and he said its not burning fuel efficienltly thus it emits white smoke. This problem is caused by oil entering into the valve seal and was mixed with gasoline. With this mixture it can't burn all the fuel during combustion (I thnk).
I don't know if that was the correct cause. That's why I'm gathering information here if somebody have experience the same problem or not. Thanks
White smoke is caused by coolant or water coming out the tail pipe. There is a chance that the white smoke was caused by water splashing up from a puddle onto the exhaust pipe. Keep an eye on the coolant level in the radiator in any event.
Let us know how it goes or if the problem persists. We're looking forward to how things go for you.

Yoy need a new head gasket. I have done quite a few on these cars. Does it run rough for few seconds, when you start it in a.m.? If so, head gasket is gone.
