It can be nothing more than condensation when you first start the engine. But it may be more serious. White smoke from the exhaust can be a sign that coolant is entering the combustion chamber. Normally this would indicate a blown head gasket, but on some vehicles where the coolant flows through the intake manifold, it can indicate a blown intake gasket. Bottom line is, that if, coolant is entering the combustion chamber, you must find out from where. Are you loosing coolant, even a small amount? If you indeed have coolant entering the combustion chamber it will cause engine damage.

Why is the oil coming from exhaust on 85 harley Davidson sportster?
possibly a blown oil ring, pull cy and check rings. ANSWER: Rather then pulling the cylinder, you can do a compression test on both cylinders and compare them to what the factory says they should be at. If you have low compression in one cylinder and oil coming out of the exhaust, most likely then you have a bad oil control ring on the piston.

Is my car damaged if it has white smoke?
if i remember correctly..white smoke should mean that your piston rings are leaking oil into the compression chamber...but it just depends on if you have it coming out of the exhaust or if it is just coming from under the car.....in that case you just have oil leaking on the exhaust. in the first case...its gonna mean a complete engine teardown and rebuild.
Why are there no exhaust fumes coming from your car?

Water come out of exhaust pipes?
If you do short trip driving moisture collects in the exhaust as it doesn't have time to dry out and then you get the water coming out of the tailpipes, the hot gasses from the engine and the cold pipes when first started creates moisture.
What if it is not a blown head gasket and you still have antifreeze coming out of the exhaust?
there is no water mixed with the oil but have antifreeze coming out of the exhaust
Why is white smoke coming from the exhaust manifold?
White smoke from the exhaust pipe is a sign of coolant entering the combustion chamber. Commonly caused by a blown head gasket. STOP driving this vehicle until you have this repaired or you will destroy this engine.
What would cause the car to smoke after driving it up onto a curb?
If you nicked the oil pan it could cause it to smoke from engine area. Is the smoke coming from the exhaust or engine bay? If exhaust, then I highly doubt it was caused by the curb incident.
White smoke coming out of exhaust just when taking off in a turbo starlet?
White smoke coming out the exhaust is indication of a leaking head gasket or leaking turbo. Check the condition of your engine oil and make sure it is not milky white or has bubbles in it. Do not recommend driving it. Get it serviced as soon as possible. Good Luck!
Why is white smoke coming out of the car's exhaust?
First, check your engine oil level- if the level reduces at agiven time-problem is that you have a loose compression. The white smoke is the product of combustion of air, gasoline, and engine oil due to the excessive wear on the engine's piston rings. Second, to confirm if you have a loose compression, go to your mechanic and ask for a compression test.
Car vibrating not much power when driving?
where to start? could be dirty fuel filter, carburetor, or injectors. plugged exhaust...feel how much exhaust pressure is coming out of the tailpipe. could be burnt valves... do a compression test and see if you have any cylinders weaker than the rest 130-180 PSI is best, but the key is to see if they're all within 10% of each other. has the car sat for a while? or acting up all of a sudden?
