This actually isn't a Camaro question, but it's still GM at least.

My brother brought his '90 Bonneville home tonight to do an oil change. As he's finishing up and backing it off of the ramps, I notice some white smoke constantly comming from the tailpipe. I took a flashlight to the tailpipe (it was dark out), and there was definately a constant flow of white smoke. It was a little bit cool out (but not too cool for shorts and a t-shirt), so I figured that it must be because of the weather (you know how you see white smoke out of everyone's tailpipes on cold mornings). So I fired up my Camaro just to see if mine shot out smoke too... nothing.

I told my dad and he thought it might be a bad head gasket. He came out to take a look at it, and as he punched the accelerator in park, it would shoot out a billow of white smoke.

The tailpipe left a nice little puddle of (what I assume to be) water.

Is this cause for concern? Or might it have just been the weather?

Thanks!

 

its probably just condesation. One of the byproducts of combustion is water since gas is a hydrocarbon. If the gasket is blown, youd smell coolant. See if it is loosing iny coolant... Thatll tell you if the sytem has a leak somewhere,

 

if you think you have a head gasket problem do a compression test and you'll know for sure

 

Agree you should smell coolant.:hail:
