All right so as the title say im getting some smoke out the tail pipe. Its whitish light blue. I know this could mean oil is burning. It happens when i rev the motor really high and at idle, But when im actually in gear and driving there is no smoke (or at least its not noticable). And its very little smoke at idle. I checked my coolant and there doesnt seem to be any oil in it, but my oil seemed somewhat watery when i changed it :cry: Its like intermittened smoke, it happens on startup sometimes when i first start my car and its cold, but after maybe 30 secs no smoke. suggestions?
 
Sounds like a leaking gasket somewhere, and when the car gets warmer the gasket expands and leaks less. But white and blue is for sure coolant and oil
 
Yea, I'm having a prob outta mie too. but black smut is on my tailpipe n i smell gas. could it be the fuel injectors? and another thing(just bought the damn thing a couple days ago so i havent had much time 2 look at it.) at startup, sometimes when i put it in gear, itll hang n idle high. not 2 mention, whenever i rev it, it lags going back down:banghead:. IAC perhps? idk. need some imput. and fyi heater core is bad. 500 bucks for the car, im not complainin.
 
sorry bro looks like you bought alot of problems but if yours is factory and your running that rich then it could be a few things
