SOURCE: 1998 acura rl headlights dim

I would think ur low beams are burnt (the bulbs) because that dim light u see should be the daytime running lights, which are usually less bright that the lights turned on.
Verify ur fuses as well for the low beams.
Check on that for now and get back to me if u have questions.

SOURCE: white smoke and oil from tail pipe

When you say: "the inside of her car", I'm going to assume you meant the engine compartment.
It sounds like she filled the air cleaner housing with water, probably the distributor cap as well. Check and dry both out thoroughly, change the oil. This should fix it up.

SOURCE: car is hard to start, keeps stalling, white smoke coming out of tail pipe

It sounds to me like you have a head gasket leaking. See if you can get a gauge and check each cylinder. Are you using alot of anti freeze?

Why does white smoke come out of my tail pipe?

Black smoke = rich mixture
Blue smoke = oil
White smoke = steam

You only see in the the winter. Gasoline contains water at molecular level and come out of the tailpipe as steam when it burns under combustion.

Acura rl 3.5 antifreeze pushed out reservoir cap. no white smoke out back of pipe when starting

Blows out? Probably a head gasket. they don't always blow white smoke. Parts store sell a kit to check exhaust in the reservoir or radiator. Best bet. If it blows out, Fill it with water, leave the cap off. Start it and put your hand over the reservoir opening. You feel any pressure being cold. Head gasket.

Hey my retarded brother over filled my car by 3lt yes I said 3lt anyways I drained out all oil filled it back to prop lev and it is now spewing white smoke out tAilpipe I am pretty sure there

White smoke out the tail pipe is a sign of water! Black smoke is excess carbon, dark grey is oil.

Possible that you have a leaking head gasket that is getting water into the cylinders?

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.

While my tail pipe blows out white smoke

Whatever you do, do NOT continue driving it this way until it is fixed. Hydraulic lockup can bend a piston rod ot even detonate the engne.
I think it got so hot at one point that it blew a head gasket.
Have a qualified mechanic perform a cooling system Pressure check.
If it holds pressure, which I doubt, it may be antifreeze running into your cylinders from he intake manifold. But the pressure test should tell you which head gasket it is, but have BOTH replaced, since they both underwent the stress.AND while replacing those gaskets, a new intake gasket will be installed too, as a matter of course. The price is about the same, since they have the top of the engine apart anyway. Just for information: White "smoke" is vaporized coolant or water being pushed out the tailpipe from the engine. Blue "Smoke" is oil, and Black "smoke" is soot- too much unburned fuel.

Blown head gasket or not?

check oil dip stick for water/antifreeze and radiator for oil in antifreeze but usually alot of white smoke-steam from tailpipe usually indicates head gasket blue smoke means oil black smoke carbon
