Hey guys. for some time now I have been Have alot of smoke coming from the tailpipes. Today I went to turn the car on and a puff of black smoke came out. The car was just turned off then turned back on again. Even when it is warmed up the Car smokes out the back. white smoke. Under acceleration too. The car runs Mint, but its just the smoke. If you know what the problem is, How mch money do you think I will be charged to get it done. Is it Valve Seals? valve guides?? Please Help!!

Do a search. There a a ton of people with this same problem. Before you conclude that this is a valve seal issue, check to see if the oil return journals under your valve cover are not plugged with poop. My car smoked like hell until I took a pipe cleaner to the little holes and cleared them out.

i though that white smoke was a leaking head gasket. that coolant was getting into the engine.

right, white smoke is coolant. do you have pressure in your coolant system? pull the cap and start it up. if it blows foam/air from the radiator you have a blown head gasket.

 

Or cracked head.
