Blue is Oil, Usually from bad piston rings, bad piston, or cracked block (Most Expensive to Fix)
White - Gray is usually anti-freeze, usually from a bad headgasket, and sometimes with a cracked block. (Less Expensive to fix) Black is fuel, if you spew black, your running too rich, Not gunna mess your engine up. (Little Expense to tune out) Sometimes when its cold out, it is just condensation Blue is kinda a whitish blue color, but definately should be able to tell. If you smoke white smoke all the time, no matter what, you have an antifreeze leak, you can also tell because your antifreeze has most likely mixed with your oil, and turned it into a sludgy gray color. Those are all teh colors you engine should put out, unless someone put some green dye in there somewhere. |
