Let’s start with clearing your doubts on what causes white smoke from exhaust?

If you own a vehicle you must have seen white smoke coming out of the muffler that must have worried you too. Does it look strange to you because the days are warm and this shouldn’t be happening?

Well, it is happening right in front of you and the reason can be that your engine is consuming its coolant. 

Let us get to the possible causes.

REASONS TO KNOW 

Coolant getting burned up in the engine point towards the leaking head gasket that gives out white smoke as a result. The main problem that causes white smoke from the tailpipe can be because of a cracked or warped cylinder head.

This is because a cracked head may allow coolant to leak into one or more cylinders or the combustion chamber of the engine.

This causes the engine of exhaust gaskets to lose their capacity to seal the internals properly and as a result, the internal coolant loses its ability to work properly and starts giving out fumes.

Apart from this, a cracked engine block or head gasket failure caused by overheating can also be the reason for the dis-functioning of the exhaust.

Now after understanding why is my engine smoking? You need to know the quick fix for white exhaust smoke.

ENTRY TO SOLUTIONS

And here the steps you have to take to get through this problem.

2. Then, inspect the head gasket because the gasket seals the cylinder head to prevent the coolant from getting into the cylinder and there are high chances of finding a fault here
3. Lastly, inspect the cylinder head as well. There shouldn’t be any signs of leakage.

After thoroughly inspecting these components, if you see a crack in any of them, look at the amount of coolant that your engine is using. Sometimes, it looks like the levels are correct but since the white smoke could still indicate a leak, so you should still check the engine properly to diagnose the problem either by yours
