SOURCE: white smoke and oil goes frum muffler

White smoke can be several things, the first of which depending on the temperature is condensation while another is coolant leaking into the combustion chamber or oil though oil will give the smoke a blueish tint. Oil drops in the exhaust is not normal and is a sign that there is an oil leak into the combustion chamber(s) possibly resulting from a leaking gasket or a cracked head/block/manifold. It is possible that you may have both coolant and oil leaking and you can check by first looking at the dipstick to see if there is any light brown or white foam on the dipstick. You can also check the radiator after it has cooled to see if your missing any coolant and if there is any oil in there. Another thing to do is start pulling the spark plugs one at a time and checking to see if one or more is either covered in oil or is noticeably clean and shiny, oily is obvious while clean indicates coolant.

Additives such as restore will not solve your problem neither will stop leaks which are nothing more than bandaids for bullet wounds so it would be best to get your vehicle checked out by a reputable mechanic or shop.

SOURCE: Hi all,

this can be serious, like a blown head gasket or cracked head. has it been overheated lately? good antifreeze used? even then you can have head problems, are you losing water? oil? check the oil and look for water in the oil, check the water and look for oil in the water, is the water abnormal looking? rusty? all these are symptons of head problems
