White smoke from an engine typically indicates that coolant is entering the combustion chamber, often due to a blown head gasket, a cracked engine block, or a damaged cylinder head. It can also result from fuel that is not burning completely, particularly in diesel engines. Additionally, in cold weather, white smoke may appear temporarily as condensation evaporates. Regular maintenance and monitoring can help identify and address these issues early.
