This will cause white smoke , along with the idle issue. You may not have to worry because it could just be the accumulation of condensation causing that to happen. In these situations, you will typically see this white smoke come out on cooler days. If the problem is with transmission flui it means that the engine is taking fuel through a hosepipe, and this is what leads to white smoke coming out of the tailpipe when you press on the pedal. The most common reason for white smoke from the exhaust pipe that is condensed in the exhaust pipe.

White smoke that is like vapor and disappears soon could majorly be because of condensation. Steam is emitted by condensation in exhaust pipe which is seen at exhaust emission. Mower tipped over is the most common reason for white smoke.

Usually, the customer turns over the mower to clean the deck or unclog the chute. This allows oil to enter the cylinder, and when the mower is restarte the oil burns and turns your yard into a 70s disco. Sometimes oil will also leak from the muffler.

One of the main causes of white exhaust smoke and coolant loss is a cracked or warped cylinder hea a cracked engine block, or head gasket failure caused by overheating. A cracked head may allow coolant to leak into one or more cylinders or into the combustion chamber of the engine. The most noticeable symptom of internal coolant leakage is when the white smoke is billowing out of the exhaust pipe and leaves a sweet odor in the air. The black smoke may show there is a return fuel line which is obstructed. Fuel injectors and sensors might also be damaged.

A final problem which can be diagnosed from black smoke is problem with the air filter. You may commonly see white smoke coming from the exhaust on cooler days upon starting.

The typical culprit is a burning fluid from the vehicle, but other causes are possible.

A backyard mechanic can diagnose the problem by observing and smelling the smoke. White smoke will be released when even small amounts of coolant enter the combustion chamber. If this is the cause, then the exhaust smoke may come with a sweet smell.

In very cold temperatures, the heated exhaust can freeze into minute fuel droplets when exiting the exhaust and produce a more prolonged emission of white smoke for a very short period of driving time. Open the hood and check for any noticeable coolant leaks. All depends if it’s thin white like water vapor or thick white from coolant.

Some white exhaust smoke is normal, especially when you first start the car. But excessive white smoke likely means coolant is leaking into the engine combustion chambers. Condensation can turn to vapor, providing what looks like white exhaust. In many cases, white smoke emanating from the tailpipe (often at idle once the engine reached operating temperature) typically means a worn out injector.

Now this isn’t always the case, but after some trouble shooting we’re usually the go-to shop when diesel drivers need refurbishe rebuilt, or new injectors. What Your Exhaust Smoke Is Trying To Tell You. Pretty uncommon for a new vehicle, though.
