Alright well after a mechanic telling me my 95 eclipse auto had a blown head gasket i decided to do a compression test being i was a little iffy because he didnt even start the car up. The results of the compression test were between 118-120 on each cylinder. The car is white smoking and starts right up and runs. The oil has been fine and I recently flushed the radiator and the coolant is still fine also. Im guessing its bad gas in the tank now. Bought some sea foam so I am going to try to see if that works. With the results from the compression test it cant be a head gasket right???:hmm:
 
The fact that they are consistent numbers is good, but the compression is still under the serviceable limit. Definitely needs to be checked out further.
