Light Whitish Smoke After a Long Drive

mstg007 · 07-05-2009, 12:26 PM

Curious, We went out on FRI for a long drive. Anyways, I went to start the engine, and it was fine. No Smoke that I know of. As we got back, I was backing up into the garage, and there was some what midimum smoke coming out of the tail pipes. I think a little more from the passenger than the drivers side. From everything I heard from everyone here, this is normal. I just want some insurance on it. Lastly, the fluid in the radiator is more water than radiator fluid. I also, opened up the cap, and it seems that it did not loose any fluid in the radiator either.

Thanks again guys

Yeah I get a little bit of white smoke out of mine too, but I usually don't go for long drives to be able to tell you if it still happens then. I'm currently having the top end rebuilt, so I'll be interested to see if it still continues. I'm pretty confident it will, since h20 is naturally produced as a result of burning gasoline. If you had tons of white, wet smoke then we're talking possible blown head gasket and you'd probably see a loss of radiator coolant.
