The piston rings in the motor are bad. Very expensive fix.
Find and fix exhaust leak
No, but there's a permanent fix. The white smoke means you have coolant getting into the exhaust. Which means you've probably got either a leaking head gasket or a leaking intake manifold gasket. Replace them, and that'll solve the problem, as well as increase the longetivity of your engine.
Blue smoke out tailpipe is common for oil getting in combustion chamber. It means you can have bad valve seals, easy to fix, or oil is slipping past rings, much more extensive and expensive.
White smoke from the exhaust is a symptom of coolant entering the combustion chamber. Most likely cause is a blown head gasket, cracked heard, or both. STOP driving this car until you can have it repaired or you will destroy the engine.
you should check the head gaskets and check where its coming from because then you know where its coming from.
Could be the O2 Sensor located in the exhaust behind the starter. When those go bad it can make the exhaust have a white smoke coming from it. You can take em out and clean em with Carb Cleaner. If that doesnt help it needs a new one, a new one for the Spirit is only like 20-25 Dollars... might not be worth going threw the hassel of trying to fix the old one.
Possibly coolant in the exhaust from a blown head gasket. Fix ASAP. Do not drive until the is fixed. Severe engine damage will occur. Yep. White smoke = heat problems. Blue smoke = oil problems. Heat damage more urgent attention. my carb. went bad and it kept blowing head gaskets,white smoke,the head was good but the bad carb made my piston rings go bad and i was getting oil on the first intake and first exhaust plugs closest to the radiater, i got new engine
There was smoke when you stopped - this smoke was coming from the brakes, the engine or the exhaust? What color was the smoke? Please be more specific. Costs of repairs vary way too much to be quoted in a forum such as this - depends on regions, the shop, the cost of parts, the availability of parts. If you need a direct estimate, take this car to the Daewoo people - they built it, let them fix it.
All cars blow white smoke when they are cold especially on a cold morning .Worst case scenario if it blows excessive white smoke all the time is a blown head gasket
We are going to need more info to help you with that one. Describe in more detail where the leak is coming from.
