You have white smoke coming from your exhaust?

Possible Causes:

1. Coolant Leak:

- Look for low coolant levels.

- Inspect hoses and clamps for leaks.

- A blown head gasket or cracked cylinder head can also cause this issue.

2. Faulty Fuel Injectors:

- Excess fuel entering the combustion chamber due to a bad injector can result in white smoke.

3. Worn Piston Rings:

- Old or worn-out piston rings can let oil seep into the cylinders.

4. Blocked PCV Valve:

- White smoke and rough idling suggest the PCV valve (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) that regulates airflow may be restricted.

5. Head Gasket Failure:

- If coolant mixes with engine oil due to a compromised head gasket, you'll see white smoke and low coolant levels.
