Burning oil
Engine exhaust turns white from water in the combustion chamber.
Exhaust engine smoke and gas smells can be caused by several factors, including incomplete combustion of fuel, oil leaks, or a malfunctioning engine component. Blue smoke typically indicates burning oil, while black smoke suggests excess fuel is being burned. Additionally, a rich fuel mixture or a failing catalytic converter can contribute to strong gas odors in the exhaust. Regular maintenance and timely repairs are essential to mitigate these issues.
