I know the white smoke would be caused by coolant, which would be leaking into the combustion chamber.
White smoke is a symptom of a blown head gasket.
White smoke is eaither a blown head gasket or you have water in the fuel system. This is not to be confused with flooding an engine and seeing white vapor coming out of the exaust in which that would NOT be smoke, it would be gas vapor's. If your burning oil, the smoke will be blue and smells of burnt oil.
Usually a blown head gasket, also there is some white smoke most of the time
Blue smoke? The end result of a tired engine. White smoke? Cracked head or bad head gasket.
White smoke- steam? Only when cold - normal condition condensation
Blue smoke is oil burning, White is steam(water), Black smoke is unburnt fuel.
What color the smoke is makes a difference, blue smoke=engine oil, black smoke=excess fuel, white smoke=engine coolant.
no... for there to be white smoke there is water in your combustion chamber if there was too much oil it would be black smoke Black smoke is usually to much fuel and blueish white is oil. So yes it is possible that it is oil in the combustion chamber.
Depends on the smoke. White smoke from burning antifreeze would be a crack in the cylinder head or bad head gasket. Dark smoke would be burning oil from bad piston rings.
Depending on what type of leak you are trying to fix sealants that get put in the radiator may work for a while. But my experience says not long. If you are installing a new one, do not use any sealant not recommended in the gasket kit. If you are blowing white smoke out the exhaust, there are a couple of different brands that have copper in them. One is in a bottle, mostly clear liquid with the copper settled to the bottom. If the coolant is only going out the exhaust, follow the instructions and I have never had this fail. If coolant is getting in the oil or exhaust is getting into the radiator it will not help.
The exhaust should be colorless. Smoke is created by an imbalance of the oil:fuel mixture. Black smoke is too much fuel (rich). White-blue smoke would be too much oil.
