• Unburnt Fuel: If the engine is running too rich (too much fuel is being injected), the unburnt fuel can condense and appear as white smoke.
• Coolant Leak: If there is a leak in the cooling system, coolant can enter the combustion chamber and turn into steam, causing white smoke to come out of the exhaust.
• Turbocharger Seals: On turbocharged vehicles, white smoke can also be a sign of worn or damaged seals in the turbocharger. This can cause oil to leak into the exhaust, resulting in white smoke.
To determine the exact cause of the smoke, it is important to have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic who can properly diagnose the issue and make any necessary repairs.
