What could be causing white or gray smoke not steam to be coming from your exhaust it smells burnt not sweet compression is fine and no oil in water or water in oil?
Well white smoke usually means your burning off coolant. It can be caused by a torn head gasket or intake gasket and also by a cracked head or a cracked intake. But if it doesn't smell sweet, and you don't have compression problems, it probably isn't coolant. Supposedly oil can also cause white exhaust smoke and one way is if the oil is overfilled.

Are you sure it's a leaking exhaust? If you think it is, then get a new exhaust fitted! But are you sure it isn't diesel smoke coming off the exhaust due to leaking seals on one or more injectors? That's the favorite!

What is wrong with your 1991 Honda Accord LX that is blowing oil from exhaust and smells like burnt oil?
If what you are decribing is smoke coming from underhood that smells like burnt oil, it may be your valve cover gasket(s) leaking on the hot exhaust manifold. This smell is strong enough to come into the passenger compartment while you drive. It should be repaired. I hope this helps you. Mark
