#280 of 289 help by firestoner Sep 30, 2009 (5:42 pm)
I have a 1991 mitsubishi 3000GT well i just started noticing white smoke coming out of the tail pipes when i take off . We checked the plugs they look good and the car runs real good. what are some different possibilities for the white smoke? Replies to this message: kiawah (Sep 30, 2009 6:34 pm)

Replying to: firestoner (Sep 30, 2009 5:42 pm) Blown head gasket. Water from the coolant, is getting into the cylinder, the heat is creating steam, and it is being shot out the exhaust. You'll find your coolant level down.   Get it checked out and fixed fast, before the coolant ruins the engine.

Replying to: firestoner (Sep 30, 2009 7:51 pm) Oil smoke would be black/blue. Puff when first started is usually valve seals. Continuous smoke is usually rings.   White smoke is coolant.   Confirm your color smoke, and address as appropriate

I cant believe a car can run so good with a blown head gasket dont overheat and there is no water in the oil. Strange but OK Thank you for pointing me in the right direction Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 01, 2009 7:39 am)

Replying to: firestoner (Sep 30, 2009 9:12 pm) You can pressurize the cooling system with a pump, and then, while still under pressure, remove the spark plugs and look for coolant on them--or as burdawg suggested, run a pipe cleaner into the hole and see if coolant appears. Then you KNOW for sure.   White smoke (like steam) is definitely a head gasket problem. There doesn't have to be water in your oil. There can also be oil in the radiator, or nothing at all (since the leak isn't bad enough yet and it's all burned up).   If the smoke is BLUE, this is probably oil burning, either from valve stem seals, valve guides, or internal engine wear (rings).   If the smoke is BLACK, this is an over-rich mixture, and has many causes but all related to fuel delivery and ignition, and more easily correctable than the other two situations.
