Dissapearing antifreeze ,white smoke from tailpipe ,

look to see if you have antifreeze mixed with your oil do it by checking the dip stick if it looks greyish then your head gasket is probablly bad

• White smoke out out the tail pipe means you might have just blown your head gasket. White smoke is water (antifreeze) burning with the oil.

• If you have any comments please feel free to leave them here.
• Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa.

im afraid you have a blown head gasket white smoke is cause by antifreeze burning in the cumbustion chamber causing white smoke

Smoke oil? For what your thinking that is oil? Smoke coming from the tailpipe is not good news, but does not necessarily mean the engine needs rebuilding. First, you need to determine what color of smoke is coming from the tailpipe
* White smoke is caused by water and or antifreeze entering the cylinder, and the engine trying to burn it with the fuel. The white smoke is steam. There are special gaskets (head gaskets are the primary gaskets) that keep the antifreeze from entering the cylinder area.
* Blue smoke is caused by engine oil entering the cylinder area and being burned along with the fuel air mixture. As with the white smoke, just a small drop of oil leaking into the cylinder can produce blue smoke out the tailpipe.
* Black smoke is caused by excess fuel that has entered the cylinder area and cannot be burned completely. Another term for excess fuel is "running rich." Poor fuel mileage is also a common complaint when black smoke comes out of the tailpipe. Black smoke out the tailpipe is the least cause for alarm.


If you confirm us that is oil smoke, check and keep in mind that the car has many seals, gaskets, and O-rings that are designed to keep the engine oil from entering the cylinder, and one of them has failed. If too much oil leaks into the cylinder and fouls the spark plug, it will cause a misfire (engine miss) in that cylinder, and the spark plug will have to be replaced or cleaned of the oil. Using thicker weight engine oil or an oil additive designed to reduce oil leaks might help reduce the amount of oil leaking into the cylinder.

Keep us updated.

If it doesn't smell like sweet then you most likely got a bad tank of gas. Just to be safe keep an eye on your engine temp. and coolant levels.

your tail pipe is always going to smell like gas the white smoke is oil being burned from worn out valve guides or rings.

I hope you are sitting down. I have some bad news. You may have cracked a piston and/or head. At least you have blown a head gasket. Time to call in the pros.

seems like you are leaking antifreeze inside your engine have it checked white smoke usually means antifreeze

GM is my expertise, but white smoke, is white smoke. If it doesnt go away on warm up , also is thick maybe sweet smelling, soundsl like coolant ( antifreeze) is getting into the combustion chamber and burning out through the exhaust, Could be a blown head gasket or cracked head etc. Hope this helps

Most likely it is oil smoke, if the smoke is black, and the check engine warning light is on, it could be over fueling for numerous reasons.How many miles on the engine?
