420A 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse 2.0 na white smoke

[sebastianjanicki]

hello I’m new here and need some help because I’m very worried about my car. There’s white smoke coming out of my exhaust with no blue tint too it, no candy smelling.

I just want to know what the issue might be thanks

White smoke is always burning coolant (usually blown head gasket) although your video doesn't look that bad yet. Does it get much worse under load, accelerating, decelerating, warm, cold? Check if coolant is discolored. Also doing a coolant pressure test (engine off both warm and cold) often identifies a blown head gasket (or a compression test if really bad).

I will call the shop tomorrow and have them look into that I don’t think so I drove it from 45 minutes away from home didn’t hear anything weird noises or don’t smell candy at all no blue smoke at all it just gets hot idk if the temp gage works becuse it always gets very hot

It just looks the normal water vapor you get when hot exhaust hits cool air. Burning coolant is way denser white smoke.

Thank you very much for your help

Well ya then you may have a problem. Burning coolant results in a thick white cloud. Check your coolant level each morning when cold (and then top off for next day and burp by squeezing lower radiator hose) to see if you're losing some.

Ok will do I did notice a leak on the on the hose on to the radiator fan so gotta see if there’s a bigger issue

A quick way to know if you're burning coolant is to pull all 4 spark plugs and look at them.

I got my radiator hoses on rockAuto for like $8 each so definitely look into that. I see you have screw clamps though so check and make sure they haven't come loose first.
