If it is white smoke from the tail pipe then it is a blown head gasket.... very serious and the boys are right don't fire it up cause it will only get worse and unless you would like to start shopping for a new car get it towed and fixed... blueish smoke from tailpipe is oil burning which is just a pain in the neck just keep the oil topped off... if it is coming from the engine compartment and not the tail pipe it isn't as serious just fluid on engine.

When the white smoke is coming out of the exhaust, you have blown your head gasket. Don't start the engine again, till the gasket is replaced.

I would check very carefully for oil dripping on the hot exhaust system somewhere. I assume it does not occur until the exhaust system is "hot"?

Excessive white smoke from tail pipe

White smoke:

White smoke is caused by raw, un-burnt fuel passing into the exhaust stream. Common causes include:
·Incorrect fuel injection timing
·Defective fuel injectors
·Low cylinder compression

Low cylinder compression may be caused by leaking valves, sticking piston rings, ring wear, cylinder wear, or cylinder glaze. When white smoke occurs at cold start and then disappears as the engine warms up, the most common causes are fouling deposits around piston rings and/or cylinder glazing.
Continuous evidence of white smoke indicates a mechanical defect, or incorrect fuel timing.

When the vacuum modulator goes, the engine vacuum draws ****** fluid into the combustion, causing white smoke. It is located on the side of the ******, circular in shape, with a vacuum hose connected to it.

White Smoke when i put gas in car

The most common cause of blue (or worse still) being expelled through the exhaust system is extreme wear in the engine, or, if you're extremely fortunate a significant OVERFILL of the engine oil level. One other possible, though unlikely cause, is a fault in the engine's scavenging system.
Has this problem occurred suddenly without warning? Had the car been serviced immediately before this event, or the engine oil topped up?

1999 Cadillac eldorado overheating. Changed thermostat, still overheating now with white smoke coming from exhaust. Checked water pump belt, it is there and turning. Cold air blowing from heater, no heat.

coolant leaking into engine probably blown head gaskets. More damage will occur the more you drive it. Unfortunate and expensive repair on a northstar.

2004 1.6 vvt renault scenic smoking and juddering and ``check emissions`` message on dash and orange light ?

White smoke is a symptom of coolant entering the combustion chamber which usually indicates a blown head gasket. Blue smoke is a symptom of oil burning. Black smoke is a symptom of an overly rich fuel/air mixture. Have the ECU scanned with an OBD2 scan tool. This will retrieve the cade that has been set by the ECU. That code will tell you what part is being effected and where to start looking. If you see white smoke STOP driving this car immediately as serious engine damage will occur if you continue to run the engine. It must be repaired ASAP.

Heap of white smoke on startup but not always

White smoke usually occurs when there is not enough heat to burn the fuel. The unburned fuel particles go out the tailpipe and typically produce a rich fuel smell. It's not unusual to see white smoke in the exhaust during cold weather until the engine warms up.

Faulty glow plugs or control module can cause white smoke on engine start up.

Low engine cranking speed may also produce white smoke.

If white smoke is still visible after the engine has warmed up, the engine may have one or more bad injectors, retarded injection timing or a worn injection pump.

Low compression or air in the fuel system can also be a source of white smoke.

Cold start up problems and engine runs bad and smokes white smoke

I believe you have a glow plug problem. How long does the (wait to start) light stay on before you try to start it.
