Black is usually fuel... White with blueish tint is usually oil... Maybe a head gasket leak... Edited June 11, 2008 by garrett41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macrophage Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 (edited) I had a similar problem when i first got my squest only difference was when i idled at the light i was cool, but when the light turned green i mash the gas and white smoke would come out i later found out it was the intake and exhaust seals. At low RPMs it will leak oil in the comb chamber when you raise the rpm it burns oil then stops because the oil is moving too fast to got into the chambers, thats why i didnt get a lot of smoke when i drove.

macrophage Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 is there any way of testing to see if the head gasket is blown? You could probably check the spark plugs the one with the white stuff is probably water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caliber308 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 (edited) you askin me? No. It was directed to the poster. The easiest way to check for a blown headgasket is this: A: Air bubbles coming out of the radiator neck. B: Coolant in the oil.

They should look white, thats normal. Crusted white with deposits on them usually indicates the presents of oil or fuel additives (Ash).
