Default A second oppinion!!! Help please.

Okay my car lets out thin whiteish smoke from the exhaust when under wot! Also it does this when in nuetral and I rev it up over about 4k. I think its just carbon build up but if anyone can give me their thoughts and let me know how to correct this little problem I would greatly appreciate it.

Blown Head Gasket perhaps? But we should be talkin about a lot of white smoke here.

It is not using up any oil and I dont have a leak. Theres no oil under the hood or anything. I guess I'll try some seafoam. Where can I get some? Will advanced auto or whoever carry it?

I would think that if he had blown a head gasket, he would have oil and coolant mixed together and would have a loss of coolant and power. Might also notice some steam in the exhaust...

most places like that will carry it. Just make sure to follow the directions carefully. And when you do add it, make sure you are in a clear area or not someplace too populated. Because after it sits and when you fire the car back up..it will produce a S-load of white smoke that will draw some attention. But it will give your engine a good cleaning!!

+1

If you clean it with seafoam, and it continues to smoke, you've pretty much ruled out the carbon build up as an option as seafoam should get rid of almost all of that.

seafoam works great, and it'll tell you whether its carbon or head gasket, like mentioned above the head gasket would yield coolant in the oil.
