hello everyone...... I have a simple question if some can help. I have a 03 p71(crown vic) 56,000 miles. I recently had to replace my intake manifold because it was cracked and was abviously leaking....anyway I noticed that sometimes when I first start the car in the morning it throws out a huge amount of white smoke for a bout 10-20 seconds......what could this be? Someone told me it could be some of the antifreeze leaked into the engine and its simply burning it off. I havnt drove it much after the new intake manifold was installed could that be true? |

White smoke usually means some moisture has gotten into the exhaust system (whether it is in the engine or in the pipes). If it is just for a few seconds and then stops, it is probably moisture in the pipes. If it continues all the time, then you have a coolant leak into the engine; usually a head gasket. All you can do is drive it a while and see how long the smoke keeps going. It is not unlikely that it is just fluids in the pipes burning off. (That is why they went to stainless steel exhaust systems.)
