do you still have your catalyic converter on? if your coolant seals are gone the white smoke will smell sweet, did it smell sweet? it also can be some condensation thats in your exhaust and the water is just evaporating etc, how is your coolant levels? are you losing coolant? check your ast for bubbles when you first start up in the morning, if there is bubbles then your seals are going, check your coolant levels and check to see if that white smoke smells sweet, if it doesnt then its nothing to worry about because its condensation. Hope this helps dude, hey man you still selling your front end?

hehe coolant seals smelling sweet? like candy
anyways i can see the morning white smoke being water condensation. but what explains it when i drive the car for 30min then park it for 30 min. start it up again and it keeps on blowing out white smoke?

does it smell sweet man, take a whif inside your over flow tank when you car is warm at operating temp, remember that smell and then go smell the rear of your exhaust, it its the same then your coolant seals are toast! how is the coolant levels? are you losing coolant?and is it tough to start in the morning? if your answer is yes to all of these then yes your coolant seals are gone and you need a rebuild, now about that front end, do still want to sell it because i want it man, its nice front end! When you said that your eyes watered from the exhaust that indicates to me that your running rich, rotaries are supposed to run a little rich and yes the exhaust will be stinky because thats the way rotaries are, they pollute like crazy.

People constantly say coolant in the exhaust smells "sweet", I don't get that. If you open a bottle of coolant and take a whiff it smells like ****. If you blow a head gasket on a boinger and burn coolant the exhaust smells like coolant, ie - like ****. Why would a rotary burning coolant smell any different?

yea i am still gonna sell the front bumper. the startup is fine. no troubles. just the smoke after is bugging me cuz it never used to smoke during the day after the morning start.

It has a sweetness to it, trust me guys here smell the overlfow tank at operating temp and you will get an idea how coolant smells when heated up, it smells sweet!!!!! and you will smell it in the exhaust if your burning coolant, how do i know because i damaged my rad a while back and i didnt realize this and i started my car up and i saw smoke coming up in my engine bay and it had sweetness to it and luckly my car wasnt at operating temp when this was happening and i turned the car off rightway when i smelled the coolant! Well Jay can you still hold the front bumper for me? i can get you the money by next thursday for sure, thanx, Kam.
