That happens to me after leaving be for about 12 or so hours. its not white, but its a weird color. all i can figure is that my engine valve gaskets are going bad or something..
hope that helped |

Heres a guide for what type of fluid u may be burning.
white smoke = h2o/coolant/steam blue smoke = oil black smoke = fuel This post has been edited by CaliJeff: Sep 13, 2007 - 9:00 PM -------------------- You say you don't understand how we go dumb, but have you ever been where i'm from?

You shouldnt have to worry. I think thats the condensation inside the exhaust, thats probably steam.
Try to smell (but dont stick ur nose straight into the muffler) the exhaust gas, you can tell most of the time whats burning... --------------------  98% completion --- aaRon |

yeh. like i said earlier with wat the colors mean. i suppose a couple meters or feet could work as well, but definitely no where near the pipe. the last thing u need is to inhale all those fumes.
