im gettin white smoke out of my exhaust for some odd reason..it doesnt do it all the time just every once in a while.. i doo have a cut out on it half way down the exhaust but i dont believe that would really have a cause to this being it has done this with it closed aswell....it seems to do it more just idling rather than moving. if anybody has any idea of what it could be let me know.

 

head gasket?

 

Its cold let your car warm up. Mine does it too.

 

my car is the same way

 

mine does it three but because of my extremely short *** commute it does it every day. Does anyone know if/how bad this will be long term and if a turbo timer would help it warm up enough .

 

I guess it would but why not just get a remote start and do it in the morning?

i live in an apartment so i don't always get to park close leaving it on after I get to work seems easier and i trust that parking lot.

 

Did it start doing it after the cutout was installed? Sounds like a valve seal to me. It's pretty common to have oil leak by the exhaust valve seals into the manifold and it smokes on it's way out the tail pipe. To narrow things down, pulling the exhaust manifold will give you some insight. If there is a stream of oily carbon coming from one of the exhaust valves, that's your problem.

 

Well i dont have a cutout installed and i thought oil smoke was blue?
and it only does it when i turn it off when its still below the c indicator.
