Yesterday, I noticed my oil levels dropping fast and white smoke coming off under/behind engine. There is also a large pool of oil under the passenger side of the car. The oil pan seems fine. Here are some pictures I took.

Simple statement bitter, I used the words 'most likely' because it wasn't a definitive answer like you assumed. I also pointed the kid in a safe direction that would've probably helped him solve his issues quickly.

I also pointed the kid in a safe direction that would've probably helped him solve his issues quickly. But if you had taken the time to read his post, the white smoke was coming from behind his engine, not from his exhaust. A blown head gasket doesn't smoke from behind the engine, it [MIGHT] smokes from the exhaust. -------------------- ![]() |
