Borrow a radiator test kit from autozone or buy one fro harbor freight. Pump it up to around 18psi to See if it holds for about an hour. If not you probably have a blown headgasket. If its white smoke...its your coolant being burned in the cylinder and vaped out your exhoust..
That might be steam, check to see if you are loosing coolant if is loosing coolant but it doesn't leak onto the ground you could have a bad head gasket. It doesn't do it with the clutch in because there is no load on the engine.
Yes that can be a problem. i had this happen to my 04 Volkswagen Passat. A bunch of steam and blueish smoke came from the exhaust. The problem was that the coolant seal in the turbo was bad and it was leaking. I had to keep putting coolant into the holding tank. Had the seal fixed and that fixed my problem!
I'm sorry to say your engine may be cooked. Since you are adding both oil and coolant, and the color of the smoke is gray or white, you have the signs of the engine burning coolant. The common cause is a leaking head gasket.
Sounds like you have blown a head gasket. Do not run the engine like this or you will seize it up . anti freeze will freeze the pistons and you will need a new engine. Hope you have not ruined it now.
White smoke is a sign of water in the piston area.
check the pcv valve if bad it will allow engine to **** oil into the air intake and cause smoke,another things is to test the head gasket could be burning a little coolant
Blue smoke is usually oil burnig related. White smoke is due to coolant mixing with the oil. (Head gasket leak) You should have the coolant system pressurized by a garage to see if your system holds pressure. This test will tell a lot. Coolant in the oil is a big problem.
The smoke must come from a coolant leak close to the radiator, or a fin crack in the radiator itself. Check all hoses and clamps, idle hot and look for smoke. You may have a heater core corrosion issue, watch close for coolant leaks on the floor mats inside, all of this may be connected and look for leaks where you park. Just a small amount can produce smoke, open the hood when it smokes and look.
