My car smokes pretty bad in the morning when its cold and then sometimes when i downshift it smokes white. The guy whos doing my clutch said it was probably my rings which i know is pretty expensive to fix. Will it cause a problem if i keep driving like this?

 

what kind of car how many miles? all cars smoke when cold, usually white too. after warming up does it seem to go away

 

97 gst about 95000 miles it smokes when cold a lot and then a little when its warmed up

 

what exhaust are you running stock or aftermarket? Cat or Test pipe

 

aftermarket 3 in full exhaust no cat i think

 

your probably running rich. I doubt its the rings. But a good idea would be to try and do a compression test just to rule out any engine failure issues. Do you have a check engine light? oh and what are your mods

 

Are you sure its 'smoke' and not just steam?

 

catless exhaust will smoke alot too. Do a compression test post the Numbers we can tell you if your motor is healthy with that. I bet its nothing to worry about but without seeing it I cant be sure of course

 

alright. something is ****ed up. My car is huffing oil from the exhaust which it always has done but now the smoke kind of smells like gas. Im gonna sell it but what exactly is the problem?

 

is cause you have no cat. All turbo cars burn a little oil , even my Evo. all turbo cars with no cat smoke out of the exhaust, and all turbo cars run rich , and depending on mods and the car somtime rich enough that it smells and can burn your eyes (like my Evo)
