* Black smoke comes from partially burned fuel. This indicates that the air filter or fuel system needs to be serviced.
* Blue smoke indicates burning oil is a bad sign. Clouds of blue smoke on start-up may indicate worn valve-guide seals, valves, or piston rings, the latter of which can mean a cylinder-head or engine rebuild is needed.
* Billowy white smoke may indicate that coolant is getting into the engine. Another bad sign. This can be a result of a blown head gasket, damaged cylinder head, or even a cracked block. All are expensive repairs.
It could, if it's leaking.
Yes, can leak oil causing blue smoke
Thick white smoke is caused when coolant gets into a cylinder and from there into the exhaust. It is a sign that if it is not fixed real soon, you will blow or burn up your engine.
if you have blue smoke coming into the exhaust that means your piston rings are bad and are letting oil into your combustion chamber and then causing the oil to be burned with your air fuel mixture and that's why your exhaust is blue from having that burnt oil dumped out of the exhaust valve and out the exhaust
If the smoke is black it could be caused by a faulty fuel pressure regulator which could be causing the engine to get too much fuel.
blown turbo - worn turbo bearing causing oil to suck through and into exhaust manifold - results in no power and neat oil burning in the exhaust - major black smoke
what is the worst for your health breathing in tobacco smoke or exhaust fumes
If the valve cover gasket is leaking it will allow oil to leak onto the hot exhaust manifold where it will smolder causing smoke in the engine compartment.
emissions and exhaust
No, it will not cause smoke from the exhaust pipe. However the leaking oil can drip on the exhaust manifold where it will be burnt and smoke.
you could be leaking engine oil onto the exhaust or it could just be rusty water that is evaporating and causing the smoke.
how can i get black exhaust smoke stuck on my dual exhaust
