Reply With Quotewouldnt worry too much bout white smoke.. usually steam.. especially if it cold where u stay at.. black or blue smoke is what u should worry about
Whenever I do a morning start, after about 4 mins of idling it starts to puff out white smoke. as more time passes , there becomes more and more smoke.
once i start driving though, it seems to go away.
i stopped at a gas station to check it out, and asked my friend to push on the gas alittle.
everytime he pushed the gas, white smoke came out, but not alot.
What do you guys think is going wrong?
Is my turbo going bad?

it could b that ur seals maybe going bad as well..how old is the turbo
you should check out your oil (drain it and look at it), just to rule out a headgasket
You shouldnt see any smoke, a simple condensation filled exhaust only lasts for a few minutes and isnt thick at all, more like a lite fog. Heavy, thick white smoke is usually a sign of burning coolant.

my oil isnt milky or anything.......maybe my head gasket is going?
maybe just seeping
u should coolant pressure test it and see if it drops down in pressure without any External leaks
check the seals on the turbo itself. does it blow any smoke during driving? either on accel or decel?
my friends say that sometimes white smoke comes out during accel. its not constant though,
the turbo was re-buillt, and has been on my car for about a month.
is there a diy coolant pressure test?
well is it white...or kinda white/buish. if blueish, then its probly oil seals in the turbo, and if its white, then ur getting coolant into the exhaust gases, more than likey headgasket. do a leak down test and compression test and post the results, that will tell u.

well u gotta buy or rent a pressure tester from a local parts store.Originally Posted by kokopuffs405
Its def your oil return line. Check it, oil is being pushed through your seals. Do you have a tapped oil pan, banjo? etc. What size is the line? Are there any bends in the line that would obstruct oil flow?
shit u are boosted?
yeah hahaha nice little run we had the other day....
u didnt see the white smoke coming out my exhaust?
hahah fo sho. I didn't see smoke. But probably cos I wasn't really paying attention to your exhaust. lol.
But yo, do you live in vanderbilt circle in the condos? my bro lives there and when i went last week i saw your car parked there so i parked next to it.
