Trying To Narrow down problem.
My car was white smokin pretty bad. About 2 months ago I flushed the radiator and put new fluid in it. The level hasnt dropped at all. I then discovered this week that my '0crankcase' wasnt vented, fixed that and all the foam in the oil went away. But my car is still white smoking. It smells alot of fuel, and the plugs were covered in carbon after being in there for only 2 months.
I dont think its a water seal cause the level remains the same, and the plugs are pilled on with carbon. I dont think its the moisture in the oil cause the foam cleared up. (Still steams out of oil when car is turned off after getting warm) So what is it that is causing the white smoke?

Carboned plugs indicate that either the carb is running too rich, you are making too many short trips or not running the rpms up enough. Make sure that when you check for coolant loss, check the radiator, not the recovery tank. White smoke may be due to not warming the engine to operating temps enough.

well I guess that makes sense, cause its not licensed yet so I cant take it more then a mile from my house. and often times I start it to just make sure its working right. So if I were to start driving the car normaly you think that smoke would go away?
And yes I checked the actual radiator.
