patrick Occasional Poster Location: Melbourne Registered: June 2004	Re: ||Celica ST162 SX 89|| Fri, 11 June 2004 17:40 OK, problem: This car seems a bit too noisy now. I haven't thought anything of it, until tonight. I'm driving through maccas drive through late at night, and the guy behind me yells out his window, "hey man your cars smokin'!" Pfft. Don't think so buddy - oh shit it is too! Like a freaking smoke machine out the back! My exhaust is leaking this white smoke (very visable at night) after being driven for about five minutes. If I turn on the engine and let it idle it's ok. I pop the hood and see if that's smoking too, but everything at first glance seems fine. No smoke or doesn't seem to be too hot or anything, the temp gauge says it's fine too. I have a feeling it could be exactly what you said warrior, the exhaust manifold. Would that make sense (the white smoke!) But then again my car just got serviced and they just replaced the muffler so wouldn't they have seen it needs some attention? Grr! ...Any ideas? ps: found this on google, think it holds any relevance? Quote: White smoke: White smoke is caused by water and or antifreeze entering the cylinder, and the engine trying to burn it with the fuel. The white smoke is steam. There are special gaskets (head gaskets are the primary gaskets) that keep the antifreeze from entering the cylinder area. The cylinder is where the fuel and air mixture are being compressed and burned. Any amount of antifreeze that enters this area will produce a white steam that will be present at the tailpipe area. If white smoke is present, check to see if the proper amount of antifreeze is inside the radiator and the overflow bottle. Also check to see if antifreeze has contaminated the engine oil. You can look at the engine oil dipstick, or look at the under side of the engine oil filler cap. If the oil is contaminated with antifreeze, it will have the appearance of a chocolate milkshake. Do not start the engine if the oil is contaminated with antifreeze, as serious internal engine damage can result. How did antifreeze get in the oil or cylinder in the first place? The engine probably overheated and a head gasket failed due to excessive heat, thus allowing antifreeze to enter the cylinder (Where it is not meant to be). Wouldn't it be great if the head gasket was gone allready... [Updated on: Fri, 11 June 2004 17:52] [Report message to a moderator]
