    I have a 2011 equinox 4 cylinder I had someone checks when I hit the gas sometimes white smoke comes out. I had a oil seal seal change on top of the motor. Is that the gaskets are good but it's not giving a lot of answers or hope about me hitting the gas pedal waiting at a red light and about that little puff of white smoke..
    How do I know if it's between the EGR and the motor? The motor hasn't blown this has been going on for so many months

    Hi from New Zealand! Great video - Thanks! Six months ago I bought a 2007 Kia Sorento diesel 2.5l 4WD with 266,000kms on the clock. I have taken it on a few long trips (100kms each time.) It never missed a beat! But in the last 3 months I have Only taken it for short trips into town and back (10kms) - on average 2 times each week. It was during theses short trips that I noticed big clouds of white smoke when I push hard down on the gas peddle either from a stand-still or pulling away out of sharp bends. On one of those short trips the engine was covered in black oil and I discovered that the dip-stick had risen a few inches. Or maybe sabotage!! Not sure? I cleaned it all off and it has been fine for the last month with just the short trips. Apart from the white smoke that is!! Am reluctant to take her for a long trip for obvious reasons. I'll get my regular local mechanic to check her over soon when Warrant of Fitness is due in June. I'll report back here after that 👌🙃

      Hello. As you've mentioned dipstick, we'd suggest checking the PCV system first. It may be clogged, causing excessive crankcase pressure, which then forces oil into the combustion chamber. Check out our video about that 👉czcams.com/video/j3DZlftr8kE/video.html

    I have white smoke coming out the tailpipe of my 2018 BMW 540I, I take it in tomorrow to BMW to see what is going on. not going to lie, I hope it's a value cover gasket or an EGR cooler. I pray it is not an engine block gasket. I guess we will see. Thank you for this great video. Learned a lot.

    Hi can you please advise me. White smoke is coming out of my exhaust especially when I accelerate. It has a chemical smell. No warning lights are coming on. Car not losing water or oil. And there's no mixing of water and oil. No overheating. What could be the problem?
