It could be a head gasket or a cracked head. Look at the exhaust manifold for each cylinder on the side that has the white smoke, the cylinder that has the leak will cause that port on the manifold to get super hot. One way to quickly identify which port is to spray some cheap black (or color of choice) paint on the exhaust manifold and fill the radiator and start the engine. The paint on the bad cylinder will burn off first.
Oil in the radiator indicates a possible severe problem, where coolant could also leak into the oil. Driving an engine in this situation at all could lead to severe engine damage.
Usually you get oil in your radiator when you blow a head gasket and oil leaks into your radiator. Blown intake gasket is also possible, as well as a hole in the engine's water jacket (very uncommon). Also, if the vehicle's transmission cooler coil is internal to the radiator, a leak from it may be possible (most tranny coolers are external for this reason).
It is behind the radiator side engine mount.
Passenger side of the engine compartment. Far forward mounted low on the side wall near the radiator.
It may NOT be a leaky radiator. However, you may wish to check your upper and lower radiator hoses and tighten all of the fittings (if necessary), and also trace the hoses all the way down to where they meet the engine. Be on the look-out for dry-rot and be looking for spots that might be bulging out. The bulging spots could indicate that the hose is ready to burst. It is best to conduct this inspection while the vehicle IS running and HAS BEEN running for a few minutes so that it is warmed up. BE SURE to be VERY careful because radiator hoses are HOT, and engine compartments are intentionally small. P.s: IF you can identify to the location and actually SEE the steam coming directly from your radiator, then yes, you DO have leak in your radiator.
You have a blown head gasket. Open your radiator while the engine is running. You should find exhaust coming from it.
yes
There could be a couple of reasons why water is coming from a tailpipe. There could be a blown head gasket on the car or a cracked head. A small amount of moisture is a normal byproduct of the burning of gasoline in the engine.
Low oil pressure Low cylinder pressure Anti freeze coming out of the tailpipe (sickly sweet smell) Water in oil Oil in water Frothing or bubbling in radiator
This engine is running extremely rich. This can be caused by many things. Have it repaired ASAP. Serious engine damage will occur if you continue to drive.
No I don't, but if you do, you need to have it repaired, or it'll seize the engine
Consider replacing your radiator cap . .
because there is a crack in you engine and its runing over in to it
That water is from condensation which is normal. However, if it is engine coolant you have big problems.
No, the engine exhaust is what comes out of the tailpipe.
you could have a hole in one of your pipes or hoses that the water went throw.
look for antifreeze coming out of the radiator as the engine warms up after a cold start.
