Tell Tale Sign of Blown Headgasket?
There's a modded integra at my school (not sure what year). I know it has a full catback, and with how loud it is I wouldn't be surprised if intake and headers are on there aswell. Anyway, today I was behind him going home. Mother of god did that car smell bad, and everytime he tapped the gas a huge cloud of bright blue smoke would erupt into the air.
I figured I'd tell the kid that his headgasket is probably blown, as I'm pretty sure that's what's wrong with his car. Any ideas? I don't think the smoke would be a cause of the catback...

White is smoke / condensation. If it was a headgasket, it would have smelled sweet.
Sulfer smell is no cat or before your cat has warmed up.
Black smoke is fuel, blue is oil. Unburnt fuel can stink pretty bad (like an old carburated car).

Duh, dumb me. Oil mixes with coolant when a headgasket blows.

Fun stuff!
I can't figure out if this kid is rice or not. It's lowered pretty well, and mostly performance mods. He's got some blingin Altezza's, 17" Motegi rims, silver painted calipers, big *** exhaust (don't even know what it is) and a big NEUSPEED sticker across his front windshield, not to mention 50 other performance brand stickers on the car.
...I'm debating whether or not to tell the kid that his ****'s royaly messed up.
