What causes white smoke to come out the tailpipe it smells like the transmission is burning?

White smoke from the tailpipe often indicates that coolant is entering the engine, which could be a sign of a blown head gasket, a cracked engine block, or a damaged cylinder head. This can lead to overheating and may give off a sweet smell similar to burning transmission fluid. If the smoke has a distinct burning smell, it could also indicate other issues, such as oil burning or slipping transmission components. It's important to diagnose the issue promptly to prevent further damage.
