if i remember correctly..white smoke should mean that your piston rings are leaking oil into the compression chamber...but it just depends on if you have it coming out of the exhaust or if it is just coming from under the car.....in that case you just have oil leaking on the exhaust. in the first case...its gonna mean a complete engine teardown and rebuild.

If your car is burning oil and blowing white smoke, it typically indicates that engine oil is leaking into the combustion chamber. This can be caused by worn piston rings, damaged valve seals, or a blown head gasket. When the oil burns, it produces white smoke from the exhaust. It's essential to address these issues promptly to prevent further engine damage.
