dude, its white smoke, alot of it too......... i think i fucked p and put too muck oil, the other night, i checked oil and it seemed too low, i put 4 qtz. i checked it yester day, and its wayyyyy over the max line.. u think that could be the reason..?
You added 4 quarts??? Jesus, how low did it seem? You definitely over filled you oil, but that doesn't seem to be what is burning. If the smoke is "white", that is a sign of burning coolent.
check you coolent reservor too. Check to see if it is low, or going down. Also check to see if it is getting mucky, dirty, or thick (could be getting oil into your coolent). And check to see if you oill looks like a "milk shake" color at all, and if there is an whitish residue on your oil cap or dip stick (could be getting coolent in your oil). And as someone stated earlier, check to see if your plugs are wet.
If any of these are true, you could have a leaking/blown head gasket, and you are burning coolent to produce that hugh cloud of white smoke.
