I have a 1995 Honda civic cx that has a lot of modification to the engine. The car runs great always has, but now I have a whitish blue smoke coming out the exaust pipe, but I don't lose a drop of coolant, so I have ruled out the head gasket. I have to put about 4 litres of oil in per month, plus a bottle of lucas oil, and it continues to burn the oil, also the valve guides are o.k. I can't figure out why it is burnig oil with no performance loss.
On the ground lol. But seriously, if you have a lot of white smoke out of the exhaust, you have a blown head gasket and must get a new one. If there is no smoke, check all hoses for cracks and leaks.
Is white smoke coming out of the exhaust? Is the oil milky? If so then you could have a blown head gasket. You can also check by getting an exhaust gas checker at Autozone to see if there is exhaust in your coolant. HTH.
Maybe there is a leak on you exhaust headers. Maybe there is a leak on you exhaust headers. Alex
it would cause overheating but the smoke is probally coming from some sort of water or antifreeze in combustion chamber
If the smoke is coming from the exhaust then it's coolant. If its not turning over then it could be hydrolocked from a coolant leak.
Your headgasket is bad, coolant is getting into the combustion chamber, hence the thick white smoke and fluid. had that happen to my dads thunderbird a few years ago
Bad head gasket? Oil mixing with coolant?
Coolant getting into the fuel or oil.
Grey/whitish smoke usually burning water/black smoke usually burning oil-could be head gasket issue. Look for signs of water loss, overheating or water in oil pan.
Sounds like you have a coolant leak.
coolant leaking into the engine
White smoke out of the exhaust means that there is coolant getting into the combustion chamber. Usually due to a bad head gasket.
