Maybe a blown head gasket
Thick white smoke is caused when coolant gets into a cylinder and from there into the exhaust. It is a sign that if it is not fixed real soon, you will blow or burn up your engine.
thick white smoke generally indicates coolant leaking into combustion chamber . check for faulty head gasket od cracked head
Coolant entering the combustion chamber. You have a blown head gasket or a cracked head. Warning: Stop running this engine or serious damage will occur.
You should stop immediately.
Thick white smoke from the exhaust is a pretty good sign
Considering that if you have black smoke your car is running too rich. Blueish white smoke from the exhaust means it burning oil. Depending on exactly where this white smoke is coming from it is most likely transmission fluid that is burning. A bad seal or gasket on the trans will cause it to leak. Especially when your car is hot and the tranny is shifting, this will cause more pressure on the leaks thus forcing out more fluid. This form of excessive leakage shoots out the fluid which then hits the exhaust manifold or exhaust pipe and burns up very quickly producing a thick white smoke that if your driving it seems to be coming from the tailpipe but actually is coming from the front center of the car. A good way to check is to go to a quarter car wash, spray off the bottom of the car, and any parts of the exhaust manifold or pipe. After driving for a while, and it still smokes, you should be able to see freshly burnt on stains on the exhaust system. Also don't forget to check your trans, fluid lvels. Mark H.
No car engine should smoke from the hood on startup. The color of the smoke will indicate the problem. White thick smoke indicates burning oil, while grey smoke indicates an exhaust issue.?æ
Yes and no. Rotary exhaust is normally between 1800F and 2000F. Exhaust components that are not made of thick wall steel will not be able to withstand the heat cycles. Also if you are reading higher than normal EGT temperatures this can mean your engine is out of tune.
Get a oil change You may have a bad head gasket, or a cracked head, or both.
No, a thick haze of smoke and chemicals is smog.
There is a crack in your crankcase. It will be hard to find due to many problems that can cause it. 1, oil pump is clogged. That is the most common. But if it is already spitting out white smoke it might be to late. I hope I got this to you in time. Good luck. Auston
