Hello everyone,
I have noticed lately that my car emits a lot of smoke, damp, whatever it might be. At first I thought - because the weather is getting colder, that it might be a cold engine. But a few days ago, I drove about 30 km and stopped at a gasstation. So my engine was warm by then. Before I shut down the engine for fuel, I filmed this:
Do you all think this is normal, or should I have it checked?
Regards,
Ronald
The usual culprit for white smoke is a blown head gasket. If that’s the case you’ll also notice diminishing coolant level and rising coolant temperature. For this level of smoke it might as well be condensed water in the exhaust system still boiling off.
I would have pulled the dipstick and checked for foam on the tip. This is an indication of water in the motor oil and a blown gasket.
Thank you both for your help and suggestions! Much appreciated!
