Why would a 1994 Saturn SL1 with 84K miles exhaust white smoke after starting?
Black smoke= rich condition(too much fuel and not enough air). Blue smoke = burning oil(engine components excessivly worn). White smoke= possible blown head gasket. Check oil to see if coolant is mixing in. Also check coolant level to see if it is loosing it. Have cylinder compression test done to verify head gasket problem. Other possibilities are a cracked cylinder head or engine block.

White smoke is usually an indication of coolant in the combustion chamber. If you are loosing coolant, have the cooling system pressure tested. http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker?UseCase=S001&UserAction=viewSimpleDiagInfo&Parameters=info

Why is your car losing oil and white smoke out the muffler?
White smoke from the exhaust is a classic symptom of coolant entering the combustion chamber caused by a blown head gasket or cracked head. If you have been driving this car in this condition for very long then it is loosing oil because the coolant mixed with the oil has caused severe engine bearing and ring wear. You may have done so much damage that a complete overhaul is required. You will know when the heads are removed.
