Subaru Legacy White Smoke

Hi

Ive got a 1999 Legacy GTB Station Wagon Two litre Twin Turbo model which sometimes actually most of the time has white smoke coming out of the exhaust.

It has no performance problems and does not overheat. Runs perfectly.

There is no oil in the coolant or coolant in the oil.


What is the problem is it still likely to be a head gasket issue???

Smell the exhaust first, if it is sweet smelling, it may be the headgasket.

Expect to hear your head gasket needs replacing, at a minimum. White smoke means it's burning coolant. How much it will cost I can only guess, but usually a head gasket repair- a few hundred dollars-it's pretty time consuming and labor intensive, especially with all the turbo stuff that could be in the way. Good luck.

Just had main turbo replaced in gt twin turbo legacy. and it is still producing blue smoke.
if your blowing blue smoke has nothing to do with turbo
blue smoke means your burning oil
which means u have bad valve guides or bad piston rings
you will need a motor rebuild

Water dumping
i do not know, but stop using the car until you fix it. If you overheat the turbo, it will be damaged beyond repair,and it is extremely costly to substitute.

I think the big end bearings are chattering at 3000rpm
Sounds like it could be the rear end differential.
