Re: white smoke

I'm not the most knowledgable source i don't guess, but i would say at least some of the white smoke is the oil that dumped all over the engine burning off. This would also explain it not appearing until the engine heats up a little. Just a thought....

Re: white smoke

burning oil tends to be black, not white

my guess is coolant or water, possibly unburnt fuel. check your coolant for little droplets of oil. sometimes oil gets into the coolant but the coolant doesn't get into the oil.

Oil is white-- fuel is black.

Re: white smoke

Headgasket, cracked head. White smoke means that water is getting into the combustion chamber. White smoke i.e. steam.
