White smoke out of your exhaust = burning coolant. Most likely, you have a blown headgasket.

I would say head gasket for sure. You're probably loosing the oil cuz its mixing w/ coolant. pull the rad cap (when the cars not hot of course) and look for a milky thick residue.)

I think you would call "white smoke"......smoke. It isn't exactly rocket science.


naw.....your best bet is to do a leakdown test and see if you have an irregular results

You might want to look around everybody and there mother has a D series swap rotting away in their garage.You should be able to pick up a decent mileage D swap for a few hundrad dollars and then have who ever works on your car put it in or you and your friends do it (if you have the tools). Putting a D series swap in is very cheap and simple, I'm not a great mechanic but me and 3 friedns got it done in 3 hours. Prolly be cheaper and easier then fixing your current motor, plus you my have already damaged the head (which is expensive to fix). "Not a sermon just a thought"</TD></TR></TABLE>

My car isn't running bad at all still drives like it's fairly new the only thing is the smoke...it hasnt overheated or anything either and stays pretty cool

look just listen to what others have to say. you may think you're car is running good but it's not. you're going to get a ticket when a cop pulls you over. i tried to tell you this yesterday, tell daddy that the car needs to go into the shop.
