Could gasket sealer make your car smoke white from the exhaust?

Possible but doubtful. White smoke from the exhaust is normally a sign that coolant is entering the combustion chamber. This will destroy an engine in short order if not repaired. My guess is someone did not install the head gasket correctly or over or under torqued the head bolts and may have cracked the head.

Could bad exhaust seals be causing the white smoke in my exhaust?
== NO, defective exhaust manifold gasket will not cause this.White exhaust smoke is a sign of coolant entering the combustion chamber. You more than likely as not, have a blown head gasket or cracked head. Stop driving this vehicle until you find out. Look for coolant in the oil, air bubbles escaping from the radiator, and a sweet smell at the exhaust. All indications of serious problems. A compression test will verify if you indeed have a blown head gasket. ==
