Okay, I can't figure this out for the life of me. The CRX blows white smoke at idle. It runs absolutely fine. At first I attributed it to being cold, but it should go away after full warm up. There is no coolant in the oil, no oil in the coolant, no loss in coolant, no loss in oil at all. No bubbles when I check the radiator cap. No overheating in temp. Nothing in the coolant overflow. There is water present on the very end of the exhaust tip. I'm wondering if a loose exhaust gasket would cause excess water to enter the piping? I do live in WA state so it's currently raining all the time. I guess short of a compression test, is there anything else I can look for? Doesn't fit the typical head gasket going out except for the smoke. Thanks.

 

Pretty sure you're just seeing the natural condensation that develops in all exhaust systems burning off.

 

Once I moved to wa I noticed this too

Iv been told its condensation as well

I'm not burning oil/water and there not mixed

What part of wa are u in

 

Ya I'm in Washington to and experience this also. Pretty sure its just cause its so cold all the time

 

Yeah, it just seemed odd because its being doing it all the time at idle and seems like more than normal? I have headers, piping, and exhaust, so was thinking that maybe the larger piping made it 'steam' more? I'm in Olympia.

 

Might want to pressure test the system or it could be your headgasket is not completly bad just has a small leak.
