It is NOT steam it is vapor, the same as looking over a lake when the ambient temperature is cooler then the lake water
Most gasolines have a high water content,When they are burned in the engine the water turns to steam and goes out the exhaust.As the exhaust system cools off, the steam condenses and water can run out of the tailpipe
Steam? RX8 normally smokes from the rich fuel mixture. When you turn the car off, especially when it is cold, it steams.
No, the engine exhaust is what comes out of the tailpipe.
Steam (White Smoke) coming from the tailpipe is the #1 indicator.
Steam from the tailpipe, and water in the oil means you have a faulty head gasket. Not a good thing. The steam is the antifreeze/water coolant leaking into the heads (bad gasket) getting heated by the engine and coming out as steam. The water in the oil is the same deal, but it;s collecting in the oil so it isn't coming out of the tailpipe. You need a new head gasket. I promise.
White smoke is steam. A little is normal on all engines. If there is a lot it could be an indication of coolant getting into the exhaust, possibly from a failed headgasket.
No. A bad head gasket would cause water to come out the tailpipe. You will see white smoke. Leaky rings would cause oil to come out the tailpipe. You will see blue smoke.
You have a blown head gasket.
Need to know why this is necessary.
You've more than likely overheated the engine and cause a head to crack, or you've blown a head gasket and it's going out the tailpipe. Is there steam coming out of the tailpipe?
your moms vag juices not water
