White smoke is an indication of coolant in the combustion chamber, and blue smoke is an indication of an engine burning oil. The white smoke indicates you have a blown head gasket or a cracked head or both. If you have been driving this car in this condition very long at all, then you have caused severe wear on the cylinders and bearings so that is why it is burning oil. If you are loosing coolant with no apparent leak, white foamy substance on the underside of the oil fill cap, or over-full oil then you for sure have an internal engine problem. A compression and cooling system pressure test will verify this. The fix is to removed the heads and replace the head gasket. If the engine was ran like this for a long time, you may need a complete overhaul or a new engine as severe engine damage did occur.

SOURCE: Blueish white smoke comeing from exhaust

Hello There

White smoke when first started is normal. If white smoke continues you have an internal coolant leak, i.e., cracked head/blown head gasket.
Black smoke is caused by a rich fuel condition.
Blue smoke is caused by oil consumption.

You need to check your oil cap for yellow/white gunk on the cap if you have this then this is a sign your head gasket is cracked. Check to see if your radiator coolant level is down this is also another sign.

Hope this helps. Please don't forget to rate me.

Many Thanks

Why does car smoke

what color is smoke? white smoke would be antifreeze due to head gakset or intake gasket leak, blueish smoke I would say oil, does vehicle use oil, or coolant, do you have to add either regularly?

My 2004 745li bmw leaves white smoke when driving off sometimes

This widespread problem is the one part no one thinks of: ENGINE VACUUM PUMP.it runs mechanically off camshaft;once seal leaks,oil from camshaft housing enters vac oump and becomes ingested by engine,therefore exiting tailpipe,water accumulation in by product of catalytic converter changing smog/carbon to water/vapor.REPLACE VAC PUMP AND SEAL ,SMOKE WILL STOP!!!!

Why is my car's exaust giving out white smoke even when the heat or air is off?

THe heat and air has nothing to do with the exhaust, It is either burning rich, burn your eyes? Or it is blowing steam out from a blown head gasket, check the top of the radiator for oil an check the oil for water. A radiator shop can do a comp check, do not let it over heat, it could go months before finally stop running. Check again and make sure it isn't a blueish smoke, It would be oil. Whole different story.
