RE: white smoke?

White smoke = coolant
Blue smoke = oil
If it`s only at startup, then its probly valve seals.

RE: white smoke?

Check the oil and check the coolant. See if anything seems out of the ordinary, other than the white smoke. On the other hand the white smoke is the roach you flicked out the window and it made it's way into the back seat and was burning back there.

Can't we all just smoke along?
