What cause slug and white smoke out of tailpipe?

In: Cars & Vehicles [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

White smoke from the exhaust is a symptom of coolant entering the combustion chamber. This is normally caused by a blown head gasket or a cracked head. Stop driving the car immediately as severe engine damage will occur if you continue to run this engine. I have no idea what you mean by the term "slug".
