My car is blowing white smoke!!

[4bella]

just wondering, my car is blowing too much white smoke just like the smoke when u turn your car on on a cold early morning...everytime i accelerate even a bit it blows a fair bit of white smoke. does that mean im burning oil or fuel? i got my car dyno tested and it is running too lean...

[martydaman]

burnt oil is usually blue smoke

unburnt fuel is black smoke

white- i dont know maybe someone else does (please correct me if im wrong)

Its been a while since then have you not addressed the problem... possibilty you've done some damage

[krzysiu]

White smoke would be a blown turbo???

[RedDrifter]

Possibly a blown head gasket?

[cameron]

or more like ringlands. If its running lean!

What to do:

1) smoke smell like oil - and if its gets worse and worse, Piston number 6 is dead

2) Look down at the exhaust manifold too see if theirs any oil leaking out were the manifold joins onto the head.

3) leak down compression test

yeah it has a smell like oil and yeah my oil is burning pretty quick lately...i haventdriven the car much, its only my weekend car... but yeah ill check it out tomorrow.

so white smoke is pretty then aint it.i hope its nothing serious becasue my mechanic has been so busy and can only see him on the 25th...maybe i should take it to someone else asap before anything else goes wrong...maybe also the cause why my car is so laggy at the start and only picks up once it hits 4000rpm...

check your IC piping...if there is oil inside the piping / intercooler your turbo is going out...mine is doing the same thing and just spews out oil from the compressor side into the intake tract and burning in the engine out the exhaust...WHITE SMOKE... that is your problem most likely.

i had glazed bores which was causing my white smoke

White Smoke is a blown Turbo,

My friends GTS-T R33 is blowing Black smoke when he accelerates and the car is so slow???any idea

[bbenny]

josip, sounds like the car is runnig really rich.

[GTRman1992]

Running rich is black smoke, I thought white smoke was a blown turbo.

[4bella]

so even if the oil seals are stuffed on the turbo, the turbo can still work properly? coz mine still works as normal. but yeah my oil drains out really quick. spoke to my mechanic on the phone and reckons its more probably a blown oil seal on the turbo.

Out of curiousity what boost are you running ?

[Cubes]

If I don't give the car a few mins to warm up as it hits boost it will blow puffs of what looks like white smoke.

Driving behind the car it looks more like fuel (grey smoke) than oil.

Mine has done it for around 2.5years and ~100,000km's.
