I always thought white was coolant and blueish was oil, maybe some of the coolant is mixing with the exhaust gases and tunring black. All this is a hypothesis hopefully someone knows.

white is water or condensation or that is what I thought. Blue is oil and I forget what coolant is. I get a ton of white smoke but that is because it is freezing here winter sux.

Good thing I had a chance to edit this post my little brother is trying to be a hard ass by posting this while I was away from the computer so whoever read what this previously said disregard it.

And yes I beat his ass emoji

white is either coolant or head gasket, blue is oil and black is fuel

White is defintely coolant, This is probobly the result of a busted head gasket, replace soon and remember tork the head bolts in a star pattern as otherwise could warp the head.

It costs at least $400 to get the headgasket replaced, or you could do it yourself in about a week. Well, that's what I've heard anyway...

On another note, I found this on eBay; is this a good deal?
