So I have the white smoke problem, but it appears that the smoke is coming out from every part of the car, instead of the exhaust. This also happens when I drive. What is this?

 

lots exhaust leaks

 

+1 mucho exhaust leaks. White smoke typically = coolant. Check for a coolant leak. Search "coolant seal leak" on the search function and hope for no leak.

 

So I searched for exhaust leak, but couldn't come up with a definite answer. What is this? Sorry for the lame Q's.

 

basically it means the exhaust is coming out from somewhere other than the rear of your car

 

white smoke means your engine is on the way out!

coolant seals. Mines starting

 

Is you car a turbo? Check the turbo. It might be blown

 

no turbo

 

There are coolant lines in the engine bay that can leak and drip onto your exhaust. Have you examined where the smoke is coming from? Check the back of your engine behind the throttle body and the passenger side near the BAC for coolant or smoke.

The coolant bypass on the BACV or the TB will not exhibit white smoke nor do they ever encounter a position to cause coolant to flow into the motor. Only the oring that seals the LIM and the seals internal of the motor can cause this.

 

Why wouldn't a leaking bypass hose onto the exhaust cause white smoke?
