Could be your valves, you head gasket, your oil pan gasket.

x2 what color is the smoke man, that'll tell you what the problem is.

 

smoke kind of looks pirple but im traden for camaro want less probems wit my cars

 

purple? if its black thats oil i believe.. purple sounds like coolant + oil right? o.O

 

Yeah I hear Camaros last a couple hundred thousand miles no problem. Good luck.

I think bluish smoke is oil leaking into the cylinders.

 

Blueish Smoke is oil, now if it smokes all the time could be a broken ring
if it smokes only on when you get on the gas then it could be valve seals
Black smoke is only if you car is running rich I would say its normal if only when you hit your vetc although not too much black otherwise you could have an injector problem.
White smoke in the morning is normal if you have alot of moisture in the air as long as it goes away after a few minutes but if its alot you could have a blown headgasket although you could have a cracked block but thats rare.
Granted there could be other reasons (bad cat) but these examples are the most common.

BTW if I were you I wouldnt get a camaro if I were you. They have alot of problems with ignition systems and the engines arent that good. Plus mileage is horrible on the V8s. But this is my opinion.

 

Check and see if its blueish smoke for oil or whiteish for antifreeze.... If its white then probably head gasket. if its blue......blown piston rings are probably occuring and oil is being burned. sen amny many hondas with this problem

 

mah ***** is too!

 

trading for a camaro. hahaha.

 

wow i love how people run into problem and try to get away from it and trade for a domestic.. then they find out that the domestic break down more then import, so they come back...

i think it your head gasket...

i wonder why that domestic guy trading his camaro... lol...

 

good luck with that trade..i would suggest finding a good forum for camaro owners as you will need it..
