If your smoke is coming out of the tailpipe......White smoke usually means that water or antifreeze is being burned by your engine, blue smoke is oil and black smoke is fuel ( too much fuel) . If it is coming from under the hood you need to figure out where it is coming from.

SOURCE: blowing light smoke and burnning engine oil

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.

SOURCE: 1st issue. My car has suddenly started smoking,

You might be looking at a head, or head gasket issue. White smoke is usually due to coolant mixing in your combustion chamber, or cylinder. Blue smoke is from oil. Your loss of coolant and high temperature might be the clue. A leak down test and coolant system pressure test should tell the tale for you.

SOURCE: This morning i recently changes

Sounds like a cracked head, or blowen head gasket.....Check the oil again and see if it has mubb looking stuff on the dip stick....also Check the raditaior and see if there is oil in there it will be spotty...It could also be bad rings alowing the oil to paas by the rings and burn off threw the exauist...

Best of luck to you.

My Renault Grand Scenic a 16Deisel manual transmission brings out white smoke when I travel on low gear for long and also on a hill also when aircondition is turned and engine now goes off and jerks

The colour smoke an engine produces gives a good idea of the fault: -
Black/dark grey smoke is partially burned fuel caused by the right amount of fuel being injected badly or by a small excess of fuel.

Blue/blue-grey smoke is burning engine oil.

White smoke is either steam (usually from coolant ingress) or massive amounts of unburned fuel. A few possible causes of the latter is strangled exhaust, one or more injectors stuck open or a damaged injector (broken nozzle).

If there is no coolant loss I suggest you remove the fuel injectors for testing.

1997 acura rl 3.5 WHITE SMOKE no over heating no no noise no smell no loss of coolant only white smoke even driving

Smoke can only be caused by something burning. Only candidates are oil and water. It doesn't take much - maybe even small enough that you won't notice loss over many miles. Check compression on all cylinders. You should see something there.

Oil leaking on exhaust manifold and smoking on 1998 nissan altima 2.4

You need to find out just were the oil is leaking from to start with .I have just done my Mercedes with the same problem valve cover gasket was leaking .Oil was leaking down the side and on the plugs that are hot ,, so it burns off the oil ,this is what you can smell. If other items are doing the same you will need to do that part as well..The breather system may be blocked up also if it is not breathing oil will build up . Good luck

Oily spark plug,changed plugs now car smokes

You changed 6 coils, but you didn't change spark plugs? The new coils give strong spark to burn off resisdues from your old plugs plus what ever left inside the combustion due to bad old coils causing smoke and bad ordor. Change all new spark plugs so you can have good ignition to burn off all junks inside combustion chambers. Smokes are at the beginning, but it will go away after less than 10 minutes.
If it is not going away you may have other problemS:
Rich mixture causing engine check light come on.
Check if engine oil level.
Check if your coolant level.
Open the oil cap to see if you have milky stuff. If there is milky stuff then you have bad head gasket.
Let me know what is coming out so others can learn from your experience. Good luck.
