White smoke

I was stopped at.a red light and when it turned green I went for it and when I got going about 60 white smoke just started to pour out of my exhaust pipe and than my oil pressure dropped to 0 and the car died. Any ideas? I have a 95 z28 auto

Re: White smoke

White smoke is usually a head gasket.

Re: White smoke

well, white smoke is generally burning coolant. so its possible that you blew a head gasket, and that either destroyed the oil pressure sensor, or your oil started pouring into your coolant, dropping pressure dramatically
