It sounds like a blown head gasket. Did the car overheat recently? To confirm, you can get a cylinder block test kit from Autozone and verify the presence of CO2 (product of combustion in the cylinders).

If it is a blown head gasket, you may be able to fix it with an additive if the leak is not too bad. If the engine still runs, this just might work for you. Otherwise, you will need to have the heads removed, shaved, and reinstalled with new head gaskets.

SOURCE: Smoke

Sometimes the steam from under the hood, because it is over heat.

Check the water hose include the heater hose, it is a smaller hose behind the engine on the top near the back of the hood, find out which hopes is leaking.

If the hose is OK, check the freeze plug on the engine, because if the engine is too old, maybe the plug was rust and leaking, when it’s leaking, the engine is hot, you will see the steam under the hood.

When engine is hot, you have to be very carefully, do not open the water cap, if you want to open, you have to either wait a while or use a heavy towel to cover the radiator cap, then open it.

Maybe the radiator is leaking.

I hope this can help you a little bit. good luck.

Fan won't kick on a 2006 dodge magnum. want to know where to look for the fuse.

you need to check the fuses in the panel both under the dash and under the hood.if these are okay then you will have to check the fan itself to make sure the fan is working.other things are the fan relay and temp sensor that tell the pcm to turn on the cooling fans,if you are talking about the rad cooling fan.

Check all your coolant hoses. Somewhere you have a leak. The white smoke you saw is probably steam .

After my 2005 dodge magnum sits (lets say overnight) it runs rough and produce white smoke. After several minutes the smoking and rough idling stops. What causes this and what price range to get it fixed

White smoke is a sign of water/condensation (due to the coolant additive)......worst case scenario, you have a head gasket leak (minor at this stage), or you simply need a tune up......as white smoke on cold start up could be normal...has it just started happening, or have you only just started noticing it ???

When was the last time it has been serviced (plugs, oil etc)

I have a dodge magnum 2006. Recenly the ABS and esp bas lights have come on and the cruise control does not work. Any thoughts?

When the ABS light goes on, it's likely a speed sensor that has gone bad in one of the wheels. Replacement involves changing the hub that contains the abs wheel speed sensor in many cases.
