White smoke indicates water going through your engine or condensation in your exhaust. If it is a lot of smoke you probably have a small leak in your head gasket that seals back up as the engine warms and the materials expand. It will get worse as time goes on. If it's just a little smoke that doesn't last long it's probably condensation in your exhaust, especially if it's cold outside. Condensation is caused by the air cooling down in your exhaust after you shut down the engine.
Probably coolant leaking into engine block through head gasket.
If it stops when warmed up, could be a sign of age but if keeps blowing white smoke, check your coolant levels to see if they are dropping above normal.
Check the radiator fluid level. If the smoke is not present when it is first started, and after a short time later it begins to smoke, it may be a blown head gasket that is letting radiator water into the combustion chamber. The symptom of, "not revving as usual", would be an inconsistent engine speed at idle. If the fluid level is going down in the radiator, and you don't see fluid on the ground, with the exception of a small drip out the tail pipe when the engine first starts, a small amount of water in the combustion chamber will cause a lot of white smoke. It can be normal for a small amount of water to drip from the tail pipe, depending on humidity, but once the engine is warmed up, the, "white smoke", should not have moisture in it. A paper towel held at the tail pipe for a few seconds should not get wet after the engine is warmed up, and the radiator fluid level should not decrease if no fluid is leaking on the ground.
Hi veronica im pierre if its still overheating and smoking you probably got a head gasket problem prestone goes in the engine and burn smell like burn candy sorry
thermostat will prob need changing, idling engine can run ok without the thermostat opening but when the engine is being used the temp will go up. but with out the thermostat opening the water will not flow round fast enough to cool down.
