unusual white smoke from exhuast
ive been noticing unusual white smoke from my exhaust from time to time... usually when im at a stop or if i let go of the gas. this is noticable mostly after long commutes or aggressive driving. a friend of mine told me that he has seen bluish-white smoke "poof" out of my exhaust during downshifts. im thinkin its my rings... or something leaky in the head. drivability seems fine. still pulls hard at boost. it does feel sluggish at times, but it could just be me being paranoid or somethin. i know for a fact, ive never noticed that much white smoke coming out of my exhaust before, especially during a warm day.
i have a 94 b18b turbo setup.
any suggestions on what might be causing this?

Re: unusual white smoke from exhuast (SIK IN DA HED)
White smoke I believe is extra gas being burned.
Blue I know is oil, which would be your rings. Just change your rings and the problem should be fixed. If there isn't anything wrong with the cylinder.

Re: unusual white smoke from exhuast (renzema)
the bluish between shift is def oil, your prob right 90% of the time its rings.
The white is coolant. Im not sure what it is if your not seeing a lot of it or feeling power loss.
