Lots of white smoke from exhaust no bubbles come up in radiator all cylinders but cylinder 1 are fine as far as compression cylinder 1 is above 250 and is leaking oil?

sounds like you need a new head gasket
if its smoking white out the tail pipe and leaking oil that's
a head gasket that's broken. quick fix.
remove valve cover and replace rubber seal
that goes around the valve cover.

What is the indication if your radiator coolant shows bubbles in compression?
Indicates a bad head gasket or a cracked head.
What are the signs of a bad head gasket?
Almost always there will be oil present in the coolant ( look for white milky appearance in radiator) or will be coolant present in oil. (pull oil dipstick & look for milky appearance also) you can also take off radiator cap & you can see air bubbles surfacing from coolant. Finally a compression check of all cylinders will show inconsistency between any adjacent cylinders.
How do you know if you blew the head gasket in a 96 GMC Sierra 1500?
Air bubbles in radiator with engine running, sweet smell coming from exhaust pipe, overheating, coolant in oil, white foam on underside of oil cap, and low compression on one or more cylinders.
What are the symptoms of a failing head gasket for a 1995 Chrysler Cirrus?
Coolant in the oil, low compression on the cylinder where the gasket is blown, air bubbles in the radiator, sweet smell at the tailpipe, white smoke at the tailpipe, especially at startup, & loosing coolant with no apparent leak.
How can you tell if there is a blown head gasket on a 2002 Chevy Impala?
Is there white smoke coming from the tailpipe? That is one telltale sign what engine check the over flow tank for bubbles when running color of the in side of tail pipe different ways to tell in general.1. compression back throught the radiator causes bubbles in radiator when you take the cap off..2.loss of water 3. loss of compression in one or two cylinders or could be missing in one or two cylinders or water could possibly be seen in your oil by checking your dip stick If it's blowing the coolant out of the radiator, that's a good sign that the head gasket is blown. If there is any additonal doubt, you can purchase a tester to detect Carbon Monoxide in the coolant.
If there are tiny bubbles coming out from your radiator when radiator cap is open and have oil leak problem coming from valve gasket are they related?
no, they are not related. tiny bubbles that make the radiator "foam up" is the result of exhaust gas leaking into the radiator. causes are blown head gasket, cracked cylinder head or cracked block. hth
A technician is performing a cylinder leakage test on an engine The technician sees air bubbles in the radiator with the cap off Which one is the most likely cause?
cracked cylinder head
What are symptoms of coolant leaking into the cylinder?
Overheating. Loosing coolant with no apparent leak. White smoke with a sweet smell from the exhaust. Coolant in the oil. A foamy substance on the underside of the oil cap. Air bubbles escaping from the radiator. Engine missing on one or more cylinders. Loss of power.
How can you tell that you head gasket is bad?
A visual check of the oil can tell sometimes. Oil should not look brown, milky or have bubbles in it. Sometimes excessive smoke from the exhaust can be a sign. Excessive coolant consumption and a lack in power might be another sign. Another more involved way is a compression check on all the cylinders. That will tell you if there is a leak from the combustion chamber and which cylinder/cylinders.
