It is caused by oil getting into the combustion chamber and burning off
Depends on the color of the smoke. Blue smoke-oil. Black smoke-unburnt fuel.
My understanding of exhaust smoke is that Blue is oil, Black is unburnt fuel, White is unburnt diesel on cold start. The main question would be, how much smoke and when does it do it?
Because my turbo is probably worn out and oil is leaking in to the exhaust.
If your engine is blowing blue smoke your engine is burning oil.If the smoke is present on acceleration, the piston rings are bad.If smoke is present on deceleration, then the valve guide seals are bad.
Black smoke is a indication of an overly rich Fuel/Air mixture. Blue smoke is oil burning.
your car leaked oil into the combustion chamber. blue smoke= burnt oil, the loss of power is from inproper combustion
White smoke means water, blue/black smoke means oil, black smoke can also mean the fuel mixture is too rich.
Black smoke is a sign of an overly rich fuel/air mixture, unlike blue smoke which is a sign of oil burning. Seek professional help.
Black smoke means you're burning fuel, blue smoke, you're burning oil, white smoke, you're burning coolant.
NO
Blue smoke from any car usually means that engine oil is being burnt, either inside the cylinder or on a hot surface such as the exhaust manifold, you need to ckeck for an oil leak, blown gasket etc.
