Low coolant? Thermostat not opening? Water pump not circulating coolant?

If your 1988 Mazda 323 is smoking and boiling, it likely indicates an overheating issue, possibly due to low coolant levels, a damaged radiator, or a failing water pump. Check the coolant reservoir and hoses for leaks, and inspect the radiator for any blockages. If the problem persists, it's best to have the vehicle assessed by a mechanic to prevent further engine damage. Avoid driving the car until the issue is resolved to ensure safety and prevent costly repairs.
You are burning coolant. What vehicle? did you do a compression test?
engine smoking indicates overheatingdue to low coolant and/or oil if it shutdown because of overheating you may have already done serious damage
Low coolant if it is ? smoking you may have cooked your motor, or the thermatic fans are shorting out get it seen to by a mechanic ASAP
i had a fuel leak
is the smoke black? if a turbo smokes, you need to replace the turbo. smoking turbos means a bearing or seal has failed ,allowing engine oil into turbo. turb runs very hot ,which is where the smoking comes from. if the smoke is white it means you have a coolant problem .usually a head gasket which is allowing coolant into exhaust. turbos run on recycled exhaust
Anywhere buddy
if the smoke is coming from the tail pipe it sounds like a blown head gasket or maybe a cracked cylinder head. if not, you may have spilled some coolant on the exhaust or around the radiator. coolant takes time to burn it off.
If your 1998 Pontiac Transport Montana is smoking when you start it, it could be due to several reasons. Common causes include oil leaking into the combustion chamber, which may result in blue smoke, or coolant leaking into the engine, producing white smoke. Another possibility is a worn-out engine gasket or seals. It's advisable to have a mechanic diagnose the issue to prevent further engine damage.
Check your dipstick to see if the oil has a milky appearance. If so there is coolant in your oil and you probably have a blown head gasket. If the oil looks normal and the fluid you described as brown looks the same as the color of your motor oil ( a bit dirty ) you have either blown a head gasket or craked the head. If your vehicle has an oil cooler you may have a leak in the lines to it or a leak in the cooler itself. There is also a type of refridgerant ( from your ac system ) that will turn brown when exposed to air.
