Hi, 2004 Saturn Ion 85Kmi (low mi), worst and best-case scenario for this: lots of white smoke coming out of exhaust, and antifreeze low again after refilling? Thanks!

I had the same problem. My 2004 Ion had 85000 miles on it. It was a bad sensor. The whole coolant reservoir tank needs to be replaced to fix the problem. This was covered under the extended warranty that we had. If you are doing this repair yourself, a hose clamp tool is recommended for simplicity.

SOURCE: White smoke from Exhaust

hardly likely the exhaust job would cause that, but yes it sounds like you got a blown head gasket. badl lock stricks hmm! also preasure test cylinder head for leaks

SOURCE: hi, what does it mean when huge amounts of white

Symptom: White smoke or water vapor from the exhaust. You notice white smoke coming from the exhaust when you start your car. If it is cold out, this may be normal. If the smoke does not disappear after the car is warmed, you have a problem. Possible causes:

1. Transmission fluid may be entering the intake manifold through vacuum modulator.
   The Fix: Replace vacuum modulator
2. Cylinder head gasket(s) may be bad.
   The Fix: Replace cylinder head gasket(s).
3. Cylinder head(s) may be warped or cracked.
   The Fix: Resurface or replace cylinder heads. (Resurfacing is not a DIY job)
4. The engine block may be cracked.
   The Fix: Replace engine block.
