What seems to be the problem: When u press on gas , u see white fumes with black driplets out of the exaust?

Question

What seems to be the car problem

Answer 1

This sounds like you may have a "Blown" or leaky head gasket. It allows water/antifreeze into the combustion chamber. The black droplets are from the condensation mixing with the soot from engine combustion.

Answer 2

With modern cars, there is a lot of water vapor in the exhaust. If the temperature is below freezing, it's not unusual to see this as white smoke. The black dripping is just condensed water vaport washing carbon deposits out of your exhaust system. The dripping should go away once the car warms up.

If this is accompanied by a loss of coolant (which you should check), it's a bad head gasket, and will need a mechanic's attention.

Answer 3

If it's very cold out side, it's just steam.

If the temperature is above about 60F, you have a blown headgasket/cracked cylinder head and are burning coolant. White fumes are always coolant, blue/grey is oil.

Take a look in your radiator overflow reservoir and see if it looks like a melted chocolate milkshake, and pull your oil dipstick and see if the oil looks diluted with water (again, milkshake look to it).

If your coolant is an appropriate color and your oil is an appropriate color, then it's just condensation.

Answer 4

if the engine is cold when you do this, its just moisture being evacuated out of the exhaust system,although you are running a lil rich,have your fuel injectors cleaned up. if the vehicle is doing this when warm, you have a larger problem on your hands.the white smoke will then be from coolant in the combustion chamber,which means head gasket is going.possible crack in block but not as likely as a head gasket

Answer 5

if it's cold out white smoke is ok until the car is warmed up and the black drips could be that oil is getting in the cylinder and mixing with the gas and your pretty much burning oil

Answer 6

Blue smoke = burning oil
Black Smoke= Burning Gas
White smoke= head gasket leak (motor is hooped) on warm days.

It is common to get white smoke on colder days.

Answer 7

CONDENSATION IS ONE POSSIBILITY--BUT IF YOU DRIVE LONG DISTANCES YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE WATER IN YOUR MUFFLER----THE MORE LIKELY PROBLEM COULD BE A CRACKED HEAD GASKET OR HEAD--IF CAR IS HARD TO START,OR RUNS ON WHEN YOU TURN IT OFF,ORIT OVERHEATS QUICKLY--IF NOT THEN BACK TO CONDENSATION IN THE MUFFLER---AGOOD LONG RUN TO HEAT UP THE MUFFLER AND DRY IT INTERNALLY WILL SORT OUT THE PROBLEM

Answer 8

driplets are normal..black smoke is too much gas in the carburetor mix. blue smoke is oil burning. white smoke means it's probably cold outside.

Answer 9

if it happen during a rainy day,it is normal.on a dry day and it occur more than 5 minutes,your engine is leaking coolant internal

Answer 10

not absolutely positive, but I think you need an oil change badly, however if that is the case you may already have messed your car engine up SO get it to a mechanic
