If the white smoke has a sweet smell to it it could be engine coolant due to a bad head gasket and/or a cracked head. Check the level of coolant in the reservoir and/or the radiator when engine is cool. If it is low or you're always topping it off to the full line you have located the problem.

∙ 8y agoWhite smoke is usually from coolant burning, most often from a blown head gasket. You can check by pressure checking the coolant system or have the coolant checked for bubbles/HC's when the engine is running. Once it is verified, the nest set is to see if it is a blown gasket,cracked head or block.
