Having same issue. Tons of white smoke after it starts warming up and even more when push the gas pedal has a smell of gas to it. Shaky idle as well.

@@lgrw9883 White smoke typically means head gasket. Check dip stick to see if oil looks diluted or milky. See if coolant tank level has changed.

You'd be smart to locate some specific O ring grease and save it for just these occasions, any old stuff can degrade the rubber or butul or any number of the various compounds they could be made of. It's even possible for grease specific to one type of O ring to be incompatible for others, the more you know....

06 Ford van... white smoke coming out at start up for a bit then clears up... dont think head gaskets are bad, sounds like could be injectors which i think these engines are known for bad ones....all this sound about right?
An easy way to test it get a fuel pressure tester start the engine let it run for a second turn the engine off it should hold pressure and slowly come down if it drops down to zero really fast then it’s either going to be a regulator or an injector
@@AutoRepairTips757 I have a Toyota Tundra. It’s a 2005 limited with the 4.7. I actually found out what it was making it smoke. I have a k&N cold air intake and i took it off to clean it and switched two vacuum hoses around one went to the fuel rail and the other to the power steering pump and evidently it was also the cause of my power steering leaking or what i thought was leaking. But not seeing power steering fluid anywhere made me wonder where it was going, well I took it back apart and put it together, took the intake tube off and BAM! Found out where my power steering fluid was going lol. Idk changed the oil, poured a hole can of sea foam in the gas tank and a whole can in the engine, took the fuel rail off injectors out cleaned everything it’s fine. You can’t hurt those 2uzfe’s. 2005 looked today has exactly 142,088 miles no engine light, no smoke, drives straight as an arrow, it’s lifted on 33/12.50s hell best truck I’ve ever owned.
I am having this same issue now with my 2008 Nissan Armada so I will get it checked out and hopefully these money sucking mechanics won't have me replacing things that don't need replacing.
Similar problem with my 2004 Porsche Boxster. Was driving, and all of the sudden white smoke was bellowing out of the exhaust. It went away after a bit of driving, but after starting it a few hours later, more smoke. I suspected the worst(head gasket), but I wasn't losing any coolant and the car was maintaining safe operating Temps. The mechanic replaced the air/oil separator and says the car doesn't smoke at all now - picking it up tonight so we'll see. Great video by the way, very concise and helpful.
@@dsandoval7843 the way I understand it is that it captures/ separates oil vapors from the engine ventilation system and redirects them back to the oil pan. So if it's not functioning properly, the oil vapors would be burned in the combustion cycle. I'd definitely take it to a trusted mechanic to see what he/she thinks
@@royal-tbutler2241 it was the air/oil seperator. It only smokes a little on a cold start which is apparently normal with this car. It stops after a few moments.
99 dodge ram 1500 when I drive on a flat surface a little bit of white smoke comes out of the tailpipe & the check engine light is on it says multiple misfire. However, when I am going downhill for any extended amount of time, say a couple of miles when I get to the bottom of the hill & am driving on a straight & flat road the white smoke bellows out of the exhaust like the truck is on fire 🔥 for about a mile. 😭 any ideas 🤔
Yeah we did that just put brand new performance injectors in on a 2000 grand Marquis and we got the same issue all of the engine is running a lot better than it did before it’s not misfiring but now we got white smoke before that we had other brand new injectors that was causing misfires and dumping too much fuel into the porch but there was no white smoke constant problem solved

I have a dakota 2001 4.7 and it has a Poweraid air system added. I have been asking mechanics to tell me why I have SOME smoke out the tailpipe on occasion, but they all seem to want to diagnose it for $$$. I know about compression testing and Leak testing for Valves and Piston issues and the possibility, but this truck only smokes a very little and only when I'm doing short work (yard work) or when I put it in reverse. All videos talking about smoke don't specify that it has to be a LOT of smoke or a Little smoke to be valves of pistons. I am not wanting to put that kind of money if my problem isn't a problem. Does a Poweraid Air Boost create the potential for pockets of fuel to create white smoke? It doesn't smoke when idle, or on the highway or at stop signs...but it does when I sit for more than a couple minutes in park/stopped. I'm looking for the truth about this so I can be at peace. Grateful!!!
Hi all. I'm stumped and really need your help and advice regarding a fair bit of white smoke coming out the exhaust until the coolant temp reaches around 60oC. Now I know this would usually be water, but I'm not loosing any coolant at all! ...Nor am I losing oil or have any mayo under the oil filler cap. Equally there's no oil in the coolant reservoir either. No loss of power. Starts and drives fine too, it's just an embarrassing amount of smoke/vapour that almost filled the car park at work yesterday! I always warm up the car before I drive it, and it hasn't overheated before. So, I put it to you great people for your suggestions... Many thanks in advance!
I have a 2014 Honda Accord 2door That smokes when it collets water at the tip of the exhaust? It does this at cold starts but doesn’t smoke when I’m driving or at a complete stop. The smoke is transparent and it’s visible during hot days!! I need help!!
I think this may be my problem, all my fuel injectors are making the constant clicking sound but i have the fuel smell as well. Once i start the truck its a sometimes and sometimes not with the thick white smoke. It always vacates after going so far down the road, but when then white smoke vactes, i can see some blue smoke that will vacate as well. So, would i have faulty injeactors as well as valve cover gasket?
I have a Lexus rx300 (1999).. It has been sitting for 2 years but i decided to start it up again.. The sparkplugs where bad so i replaced them..and suddenly the white smoke started.. But i only have this when doing a cold start..but it happens sometimes, sometimes not. I don't see any water leaks, the temperature is stable and no milky water spot in the oil cap.. So I'm confused what can cause this suddenly after a sparkplug change?? .. I haven't done a engine oil service yet till now.. So what seem to be the issue here? 😕
I got a 99 f250 superduty 5.4 Triton I replaced fuel pump know it knocks from passenger side engine, blows white smoke, shakes bad, and stalls when I hit the gas. Fuel injectors is my last thing to replace with those symptoms, hopefully. It's been sitting for awhile
I hate it when classical rules of thumb, in this case that white smoke is usually water in a combustion chamber, is dead wrong. Presumably the smell of gas, and maybe fuel trim dialed way down one one bank, steered the diagnosis in the correct direction.
Thanks I have the opportunity to buy a f-150 with the smoke problem for 1,000.00 because the owner doesn’t want to deal with it it’s only got a little over 80,000 miles on it.
I have an Audi a5 2.0, my car has been running rich for a while, I have changed air flow sensor, fuel injectors, spark plugs, high pressure fuel pump, fuel pump and my car will not start unless if I rev the gas, another thing is once it’s on excessive white smoke comes out of the exhaust, and if you take your foot of the gas the car will turn off after around 10 seconds. Any idea what it could be?
I have a 1993 Plymouth Voyager minivan. Today first time ever had a hard time starting it. Even after running it for a couple of miles.

I have a 2015 kia soul and its blowing white smoke alittle bit and one cylinder is misfiring. The catalyic code came up saying the cat needs to replaced. Im assuming one fuel injector is malfunctioning causing too much gas or not enough gas and therefore the white smoke is coming out and misfiring. Im hoping its the fuel injector because if not, im looking at a serious engine job. I already replaced spark plugs, ignition coils, verified spark in the cylinder. Wish me luck The coolant is good and is not mixing. Coolant has been level and is perfectly fine. Oil consumption a bit I was told. That's why im strongly thinking it could be the fuel injector.
Yea I started having white smoke come out of my toyota camry bad only at startup though, and not really a smell just exhaust smell. Already replaced the head gasket once
I really need help because this got me scratching my head. 05 5.3 270k. Every once in awhile I'd get a bit of smoke on startup nothing major. Well couple weeks ago I was out running errands. Truck drove great like always. Got home and parked it for a few hours. Had to go to corner store and while backing out my driveway I had no brakes (brake line from master cylinder blew under driver's side door) so pulled back in and also noticed idle was a little off and bouncing like it wanted to stall. Truck sat for 4 days until I could replace the brake line. Well I started it and now it smokes out the tailpipe and has a jumpy idle. No check engine light or overheating and oil looks good with good pressure. I know about the pcv valve problem these have but I don't think a pcv would cause this much smoke. I'm scared to drive it. Weird this happened when my brake line gave out. Help would be greatly appreciated
@@AutoRepairTips757 I don't know how to do that and don't have the tools. Think I'm just gonna replace the injectors and pcv valve cover and hope for the best

One of the easiest ways to check this is put a fuel pressure tester on your car start the car let it run for about 20 seconds cut the car off watch the gauge if it drops really fast you either have a bad regulator or a bad injector that’s not holding pressure it’s gonna come down some but it should come slowly

@@AutoRepairTips757 got that , how are you applying pressure, and how to either get a fitting on there, or just cup with my hand hose from my compressor, think I would also have to cap return side correct , as if I don’t I would not build up pressure.
@@AutoRepairTips757 one last question, so when I apply pressure no fuel should come out of injectors ? Ok, so I understand, when I turn the key but do not crank, but hear fuel pump supply fuel to rail. Again, but still no cranking , I guess from reading and watching the pressure is sitting on top of the injector, but when does the injector open up and spay fuel to the cylinder.

My vehicle also has some white smoke coming out the exhaust system..sometimes its not so thick but can see it's white smoke..car also has no compression ..car wont idle aswell..i did overhaul the head about 2 months ago because the gasket was gone
Please specific your vehicle make, model and etc as detail so good Samaritan will be able to help if they have experienced it or have knowledge about it. In general vehicle, for the white smoke, did you change the valve seal when do overhaul. If change, then do check for coolant level. For no compression, is your vehicle engine type non interference (I will not suspect head gasket as you should change it when do overhaul). Your vehicle sure will not idle well as there is no compression.
Good evening, I have a lexus is220 diesel with 180000km, the car drives right, but when we move at a relatively low speed from 0 to 50 km. the exhaust emits white smoke and in the engine I have coolant scattered everywhere, is there a chance that it is smoking from a simple leak in the water pump pipe or is it sure the leak is from the motor? P.S. when I accelerate from 160 km and above the temperature rises sharply and drops in 1 minute as soon it goes down to normal P.S I have put on a new fridge and a new turbo thanks
The smoke coming from under the hood might be a different concern. burn an easy way to tell is hook a fuel pressure tester start the car and let it run for like 30 seconds, cut it off and the fuel pressure should stay when you cut the car off, it will come down slowly over a few minutes but if it should not come down really fast.if it does then you have an injector that’s open or a bad regulator
@@AutoRepairTips757 I appreciate the answer. I'm going to buy a fuel pressure tester and try it. This video will be better you show us step by step how replace this part.

I have a Gen 3 5.7 hemi it has white smoke coming out the exhaust on the start up but goes away until the car is warmed up all the way. Thought it could be a blown head gasket but head gaskets looked fine still swapped them out for new ones just to be safe. Still has the white smoke any ideas on what it could be?
Hi xyou.. did you end up finding out what the problem was with your Hemi.. I have the same issues with my 2013 Overland 5.7.. any help would be greatly appreciated.
My truck is smoking a lot whenever I press the gas, so I thought it was just a coolant leak but couldn’t see any leaks under the car and I wasn’t losing coolant, I placed head gasket sealer in the radiator (thinking it’s the head gasket) and then it started overheating for some reason. The white smoke is still the same and I can’t figure out why it’s there and why the car is overheating. I assumed it was the thermostat so I replaced it and replaced the coolant but still the same smoke and overheating. I also had no signs of coolant in my oil, sure I needed an oil change but my oil is black not milky brown. The coolant was clean too when I took it out.
Do a combustion test and see if you have a blown head gasket on the exhaust side. I have seen a head gasket Blow on the exhaust sideAnd never contaminate the oil. Also the smoke coming out of your exhaust does it have a sweet smell if so definitely a blown head gasket on the exhaust side

@@joannehein518 a lot of older cars, if you take the oil filler cap off and drive your car, it doesn't breath correctly. so it will cause oil to get sucked up, and i have seen it come out the exhaust before. make sure after you reinstall the cap you check the oil is topped off. and it should clear up just by driving. if it doesn't, then take it in to get looked at. hope this helps

I have a k&N cold air intake and i took it off to clean it and switched two vacuum hoses around one went to the fuel rail and the other to the power steering pump and evidently it was also the cause of my power steering leaking or what i thought was leaking. But not seeing power steering fluid anywhere made me wonder where it was going, well I took it back apart and put it together, took the intake tube off and BAM! Found out where my power steering fluid was going lol. Idk changed the oil, poured a hole can of sea foam in the gas tank and a whole can in the engine, took the fuel rail off injectors out cleaned everything it’s fine. You can’t hurt those 2uzfe’s. 2005 looked today has exactly 142,088 miles no engine light, no smoke, drives straight as an arrow, it’s lifted on 33/12.50s hell best truck I’ve ever owned.
@@thomaslowery3576 thats awesome im glade you were able to find the prob. those are tough trucks toy still have a-lot of miles left
I am having this same issue now with my 2008 Nissan Armada so I will get it checked out and hopefully these money sucking mechanics won't have me replacing things that don't need replacing.
Similar problem with my 2004 Porsche Boxster. Was driving, and all of the sudden white smoke was bellowing out of the exhaust. It went away after a bit of driving, but after starting it a few hours later, more smoke. I suspected the worst(head gasket), but I wasn't losing any coolant and the car was maintaining safe operating Temps. The mechanic replaced the air/oil separator and says the car doesn't smoke at all now - picking it up tonight so we'll see. Great video by the way, very concise and helpful.
Hope it works for you
What is a air/oil separator because my 2018 Chevy Equinox has white smoke coming out, I'm not losing coolant, I'm not overheating. My oil is Not Milky
@@dsandoval7843 the way I understand it is that it captures/ separates oil vapors from the engine ventilation system and redirects them back to the oil pan. So if it's not functioning properly, the oil vapors would be burned in the combustion cycle. I'd definitely take it to a trusted mechanic to see what he/she thinks
Update plzz was that the problem or was it the fuel injectors??
@@royal-tbutler2241 it was the air/oil seperator. It only smokes a little on a cold start which is apparently normal with this car. It stops after a few moments.
99 dodge ram 1500 when I drive on a flat surface a little bit of white smoke comes out of the tailpipe & the check engine light is on it says multiple misfire. However, when I am going downhill for any extended amount of time, say a couple of miles when I get to the bottom of the hill & am driving on a straight & flat road the white smoke bellows out of the exhaust like the truck is on fire 🔥 for about a mile. 😭 any ideas 🤔
That is something I would definitely have to test rather and look at myself in person
Yeah we did that just put brand new performance injectors in on a 2000 grand Marquis and we got the same issue all of the engine is running a lot better than it did before it’s not misfiring but now we got white smoke before that we had other brand new injectors that was causing misfires and dumping too much fuel into the porch but there was no white smoke constant problem solved
U r the best, i had the same exact issue on 2015 nissan patrol gu engine 4.8L, i followed ur step and yeah one injector is leaking, white smoke fuel smell and misfire, now will change this injector
Thanks a lot
Was it the injector ?
I have a dakota 2001 4.7 and it has a Poweraid air system added. I have been asking mechanics to tell me why I have SOME smoke out the tailpipe on occasion, but they all seem to want to diagnose it for $$$. I know about compression testing and Leak testing for Valves and Piston issues and the possibility, but this truck only smokes a very little and only when I'm doing short work (yard work) or when I put it in reverse. All videos talking about smoke don't specify that it has to be a LOT of smoke or a Little smoke to be valves of pistons. I am not wanting to put that kind of money if my problem isn't a problem. Does a Poweraid Air Boost create the potential for pockets of fuel to create white smoke? It doesn't smoke when idle, or on the highway or at stop signs...but it does when I sit for more than a couple minutes in park/stopped.
I'm looking for the truth about this so I can be at peace. Grateful!!!
I’m having the same problem but no miss fire. What does that mean?
Im no professional , but if white smoke is coming out then you should check your head gasket . Coolant could be leaking through
Hi all.
I'm stumped and really need your help and advice regarding a fair bit of white smoke coming out the exhaust until the coolant temp reaches around 60oC.
Now I know this would usually be water, but I'm not loosing any coolant at all! ...Nor am I losing oil or have any mayo under the oil filler cap. Equally there's no oil in the coolant reservoir either.
No loss of power. Starts and drives fine too, it's just an embarrassing amount of smoke/vapour that almost filled the car park at work yesterday!
I always warm up the car before I drive it, and it hasn't overheated before.
So, I put it to you great people for your suggestions...
Many thanks in advance!
thanks for taking the time for the heads up injector video .
I have a 2010 police interceptor Impala having similar issues could it be the same problem? Same symptoms.
Does your exhaust smell sweet or does it smell like gas?
I have a 2014 Honda Accord 2door
That smokes when it collets water at the tip of the exhaust? It does this at cold starts but doesn’t smoke when I’m driving or at a complete stop.
The smoke is transparent and it’s visible during hot days!!
I need help!!
I think this may be my problem, all my fuel injectors are making the constant clicking sound but i have the fuel smell as well. Once i start the truck its a sometimes and sometimes not with the thick white smoke. It always vacates after going so far down the road, but when then white smoke vactes, i can see some blue smoke that will vacate as well. So, would i have faulty injeactors as well as valve cover gasket?
You need to do a leak down test
@AutoRepairTips757 how do I do that?
I have a Lexus rx300 (1999).. It has been sitting for 2 years but i decided to start it up again.. The sparkplugs where bad so i replaced them..and suddenly the white smoke started.. But i only have this when doing a cold start..but it happens sometimes, sometimes not. I don't see any water leaks, the temperature is stable and no milky water spot in the oil cap.. So I'm confused what can cause this suddenly after a sparkplug change?? .. I haven't done a engine oil service yet till now.. So what seem to be the issue here?
😕
does the smoke smell like oil or fuel
@@AutoRepairTips757 smells a little like oil
I got a 99 f250 superduty 5.4 Triton I replaced fuel pump know it knocks from passenger side engine, blows white smoke, shakes bad, and stalls when I hit the gas. Fuel injectors is my last thing to replace with those symptoms, hopefully. It's been sitting for awhile
I hate it when classical rules of thumb, in this case that white smoke is usually water in a combustion chamber, is dead wrong. Presumably the smell of gas, and maybe fuel trim dialed way down one one bank, steered the diagnosis in the correct direction.
Like the intro it's pretty cool.
Agreed
I'm dealing with the same issue. At some point you just have to pay a professional to properly diagnose it... There's too many possibilities.
Could this also lead to power loss on hills or under load?
Yes
Thanks I have the opportunity to buy a f-150 with the smoke problem for 1,000.00 because the owner doesn’t want to deal with it it’s only got a little over 80,000 miles on it.
I have an Audi a5 2.0, my car has been running rich for a while, I have changed air flow sensor, fuel injectors, spark plugs, high pressure fuel pump, fuel pump and my car will not start unless if I rev the gas, another thing is once it’s on excessive white smoke comes out of the exhaust, and if you take your foot of the gas the car will turn off after around 10 seconds. Any idea what it could be?
When it smokes what does it smell like
no real smell to be honest.@@AutoRepairTips757
I have a 1993 Plymouth Voyager minivan. Today first time ever had a hard time starting it. Even after running it for a couple of miles. I don’t know if it was the fuel injectors or what but it just wouldn’t completely turn over at first. Once I got the engine to turn over, lots of white smoke came out but it didn’t smell like oil it smelled like plastic!! Any ideas?
I have a 2015 kia soul and its blowing white smoke alittle bit and one cylinder is misfiring. The catalyic code came up saying the cat needs to replaced. Im assuming one fuel injector is malfunctioning causing too much gas or not enough gas and therefore the white smoke is coming out and misfiring. Im hoping its the fuel injector because if not, im looking at a serious engine job. I already replaced spark plugs, ignition coils, verified spark in the cylinder. Wish me luck
The coolant is good and is not mixing. Coolant has been level and is perfectly fine. Oil consumption a bit I was told. That's why im strongly thinking it could be the fuel injector.
Hopefully it works for you
Yea I started having white smoke come out of my toyota camry bad only at startup though, and not really a smell just exhaust smell. Already replaced the head gasket once
Do you have the same video on a Dodge ram 1500 4.7 v8 ?
no, if i come across one with that prob ill make one
I really need help because this got me scratching my head. 05 5.3 270k. Every once in awhile I'd get a bit of smoke on startup nothing major. Well couple weeks ago I was out running errands. Truck drove great like always. Got home and parked it for a few hours. Had to go to corner store and while backing out my driveway I had no brakes (brake line from master cylinder blew under driver's side door) so pulled back in and also noticed idle was a little off and bouncing like it wanted to stall. Truck sat for 4 days until I could replace the brake line. Well I started it and now it smokes out the tailpipe and has a jumpy idle. No check engine light or overheating and oil looks good with good pressure. I know about the pcv valve problem these have but I don't think a pcv would cause this much smoke. I'm scared to drive it. Weird this happened when my brake line gave out. Help would be greatly appreciated
do a leak down test on the fuel system, i think the brakes and the smoke happening at the same time are a coincidence.
@@AutoRepairTips757 I don't know how to do that and don't have the tools. Think I'm just gonna replace the injectors and pcv valve cover and hope for the best
I am going to replace all the injectors on my 04 mustang GT, thanks for the knowledge
Can the blockage in the PCV be caused by low fuel or close to empty tank?
Does this also apply for 2011 hatchbacks I’ve got a speed3 currently going thru same issue rich gas smell w/ white exhaust smoke on acceleration
you need to run a test to see if you loose fuel psi
My 2000 dodge dakota just started rolling white smoke. Its hard starting and has a misfire. I check the oil and no coolant on dipstick and its not over heating. Truck sat for like 5 years and only ran a few times. So would it be injectors? Im sure it needs spark plugs but im sure thats not problem. Also truck has 270,000 miles on it
if it sat for 5 year the gas could be bad it might need to be cleaned out and change the fuel filter

If any one coil of car is not working then it could cause of very mild white smoke ???
With out looking at, it’s hard to say but if you have one cylinder no firing then yes it’s possible that that cylinder is loading up and burning out the exhaust

One of my cylinder is not firing and when I start her up I smell gas, get white smoke when I accelerate.
One of the easiest ways to check this is put a fuel pressure tester on your car start the car let it run for about 20 seconds cut the car off watch the gauge if it drops really fast you either have a bad regulator or a bad injector that’s not holding pressure it’s gonna come down some but it should come slowly

Question, if fuel rail is out of car , one how to apply pressure, (2) where is the rail getting fuel from
it was left over in the rail when i took it out, if you dont have any left in the rail you can add brake clean
@@AutoRepairTips757 got that , how are you applying pressure, and how to either get a fitting on there, or just cup with my hand hose from my compressor, think I would also have to cap return side correct , as if I don’t I would not build up pressure.
@@AutoRepairTips757 hey tried something like this but my injectors keep jetting blow off the rail ,, with little pressure.
@@AutoRepairTips757 one last question, so when I apply pressure no fuel should come out of injectors ?
Ok, so I understand, when I turn the key but do not crank, but hear fuel pump supply fuel to rail. Again, but still no cranking , I guess from reading and watching the pressure is sitting on top of the injector, but when does the injector open up and spay fuel to the cylinder.
Thanks for taking the time to reply to my comment, you are a true professional
i dont recommend doing this but i just blew into it and what ever injector the fluid came out was the bad one
Thanks for the information
My vehicle also has some white smoke coming out the exhaust system..sometimes its not so thick but can see it's white smoke..car also has no compression ..car wont idle aswell..i did overhaul the head about 2 months ago because the gasket was gone
Please specific your vehicle make, model and etc as detail so good Samaritan will be able to help if they have experienced it or have knowledge about it. In general vehicle, for the white smoke, did you change the valve seal when do overhaul. If change, then do check for coolant level. For no compression, is your vehicle engine type non interference (I will not suspect head gasket as you should change it when do overhaul). Your vehicle sure will not idle well as there is no compression.
Thanks 👍

Good evening, I have a lexus is220 diesel with 180000km, the car drives right, but when we move at a relatively low speed from 0 to 50 km. the exhaust emits white smoke and in the engine I have coolant scattered everywhere, is there a chance that it is smoking from a simple leak in the water pump pipe or is it sure the leak is from the motor?
P.S. when I accelerate from 160 km and above the temperature rises sharply and drops in 1 minute as soon it goes down to normal
P.S I have put on a new fridge and a new turbo thanks
I got the same problem but with a 2014 Ford Escape and there is smoke coming from under the hood. Do I have to same problem?
The smoke coming from under the hood might be a different concern. burn an easy way to tell is hook a fuel pressure tester start the car and let it run for like 30 seconds, cut it off and the fuel pressure should stay when you cut the car off, it will come down slowly over a few minutes but if it should not come down really fast.if it does then you have an injector that’s open or a bad regulator

Hi xyou.. did you end up finding out what the problem was with your Hemi.. I have the same issues with my 2013 Overland 5.7.. any help would be greatly appreciated.
My truck is smoking a lot whenever I press the gas, so I thought it was just a coolant leak but couldn’t see any leaks under the car and I wasn’t losing coolant, I placed head gasket sealer in the radiator (thinking it’s the head gasket) and then it started overheating for some reason. The white smoke is still the same and I can’t figure out why it’s there and why the car is overheating. I assumed it was the thermostat so I replaced it and replaced the coolant but still the same smoke and overheating. I also had no signs of coolant in my oil, sure I needed an oil change but my oil is black not milky brown. The coolant was clean too when I took it out.
Do a combustion test and see if you have a blown head gasket on the exhaust side. I have seen a head gasket Blow on the exhaust sideAnd never contaminate the oil. Also the smoke coming out of your exhaust does it have a sweet smell if so definitely a blown head gasket on the exhaust side
