Why would your car smoke out of the tailpipe when you press the gas?

Could be what's called "Blow-by". Your pistons have Rings & Seals on them and when they get old and worn with lots of miles put on the engine, they allow a little bit of oil to escape past the piston and into the chamber which is immediatly burned. This results in the smoke coming out of the tailpipe. Only way to fix it is to have the engine rebuilt or replaced. or a good lub. might help. try lucas. also u might need a head gasket, agood way to check is if ur oil is creamy (which means oil and anti-freeze is mixing)or if the exess smoke is blue.
