SOURCE: Smoke from exhaust... toyota rav4 1996
Welcome to FIXYA
There in only 1 thing i can think of where the white smoke is from it could be anitfreeze if so it would mean a cracked head or a bad head gasket if it gets worse then you have a big problem but if you check the water level and it looks fine then you should be ok for a while
if it was black smoke or a real dark gray then it would be oil
i hope this helps you out have a good day

Hi,
For some reason the Live Session froze. Our apologies for any inconvenience. Please find below the last part of my posts in case you were not able to view them.

what about the piston rings
Benimur says:
that could be checked with a compression tester at your dealer
Benimur says:
so for the moment course of action would include: compression test
dye to determine where the oil went, if no trace found then it could be assumed was burned; change the catalyctic converter, it went as a direct result of oil in the exhaust system
Benimur says:
some remedial/temporary workaround includes installation of an aftermarket oil cooler with its own fan; maintain a lower engine temperature by removing the thermostat (not applicable to cold regions) and wiring the radiator fan to continously work.
Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards.
Thank you for using FixYa.

You are experiencing blow by,either rings not set properly or wrong size rings used.Piston rings are supposed to be aligned at certain degrees from each other.
Check compression in all cylinders.
white smoke means blown head gasket, do not run or will ruin engine
