Best Answer

normally when the engine emits bluish white smoke, the engine oil mixes up with the gasoline in the combustion chamber-as a result of loose compression. White smoke - Water in the exhaust, head gasket gone? check for emulsion on filler cap and do a compression test. Blue smoke - burning oil, check valve stem oil seals, valve guide clearances or piston rings

Black smoke - Fuel mixture too rich, go to a garage and have it tuned.

Hello, This could be cause by a couple of things, it could be the piston rings are getting tired (Whats is the mileage on the vehicle?) or the valve seals are getting also old letting oil pass trough it and burning when getting in the combustion chamber. White smoke is caused by oil entering the combustion chamber (Burning oil creates white smoke when burnt.)
