white smoke from exhaust WTK!!!

[JesuEric]

Fellas quick question. On a morning when I start my car, or if its moderately cool-cold and I start the car I get thin white smoke for as much as 15-20 seconds depending on how cold the car is....after this no white smoke....do I have a crack head gasket or cylinder or something? temperatures read normal.....
is a SR20vvl

[VexXx Dogg]

isnt that normal exhaust condensation?
Once it stops you should be good to go. If it was coolant, there'd be a sweet-ish smell from the exhaust

[hyperdude]

when was your last oil change?

[JesuEric]

My 6k kms mark is next 500 kms so 5500 at the moment i not sure whats sweetish scent /:

[hyperdude]

lol
yuh have to have a trained nose fuh that
maybe the oil just needs to be changed
what additive yuh use ?

[JesuEric]

lolll I use VP Racing Octane boost once a week..... I used Amsoil Power Foam about 2 months ago. and dais about it I guess

[Wolfstein]

ask any mechanic

[turbosingh]

^^ I am a mechanic.But plz enlighten me doh....

[hyperdude]

run ah car for 6 mths and don't change the oil
heavy driving,and let me know what happens....

[Sundar]

wear of engine components? leading to oil consumption, which burns blue smoke..... coolant burning= thick white smoke, all d time... running a engine on heavy load for a long period will lead to a little oil consumption, crankcase pressure buildup. ent?

It goh smoke. But not white

[JesuEric]

So i guess i HV a coolant problem..... N na wen i drive once it stops i don't get smoke .....wat cud cause coolant leaking?

[kiran8977]

Sometimes it could be from cold start .......as you say it only happens in the morning is it relatively cold when you start if it was oil or coolant there will be constant smoke and other signs like loss of coolant......etc

[JesuEric]

i guess but what caught me is it wasn't so a 2 months ago or so well not that much at least...I can have coolant loss but its prop a bottle cap full at most.

Exactly...

ur engine not burning coolant, normal water vapor being produced
