Could you be more specific? Do you mean that your car is blowing white smoke out? If so you need to change the green seals...

I dont know what the hell "green seals" are. Usually blue smoke is oil, black is gas...White? Hmmm...Could be water, but that would make your car probably overheat and/or loose water. Any other symptoms besides white smoke?
