Yes the white smoke is really steam from the cooling system a seal or gasket has failed.
You may have a blown head gasket.
have a mechanic check your turbo.most will tell u that a turbo blows black smoke but can aslso blow white smoke when turbo is malfunctioning
is this a diesel truck?does this engine have a turbo?if it is a diesel with a turbo,it will blow white smoke when cold till it warms upif it continues to blow smoke check your air filterother reason if it continues to blow smoke is the turbo is about to crater get it checkedalso check engine oil for coolant lossif coolant is leaking into cylanders,this will cause white smoke
its farting
yes.
your car is burning oil.
if a diesel blows white smoke, it is a good indication of a blown head gasket you have coolant getting into cylanders being 89 model i figure it doesnt have a turbo if a turbo is installed it can be a bad turbo
in a diesel engine, no power and blowing white smoke, indicates a bad turbo on the engine
easy your yurbo oil seals are gone. white smoke is the turbo smoking. take out the turbo and check the blades for worn or movement. if ok buy a turbo rebuild kit from eBay and get a specialist to do it.
blow by through the turbo ,my truck did the same thing had to get the turbo rebuilt
It may be the pressure releif on the bottom of the compressor. I do not have a turbo either and after I reved it some I got white smoke too. (from the oil in the ac system)
Just having a hole in the muffler won't cause smoke to form. Any smoke coming from an engine is caused by either environment changes (white smoke while engine is warming up), or an engine burning oil (blue smoke). Sometimes even a bad catalytic converter can cause smoke. The hole in the muffler simply gives the smoke a way out. Trying looking for external oil leaks or checking he oil level occasionally to see if it is burning oil. You may see water vapor is there is a hole in the muffler but it wouldn't last long once the muffler warms up and the moisture is burned off. She shouldn't see actual smoke unless there is a problem with the engine.
