Smoke in Exhaust Sign In

White smoke is usually coolant. Black is usually a fuel problem. Blue is usually and oil problem.

Head gaskets are responsible for many and can be tricky to diagnose. See if your radiator builds up pressure just by feeling a radiator hose way to quick for heat to do that normally. That would not be a good sign. Highly likely though. Spark plugs can give you a clue but this needs attention and may require help. Good shop will want to send the head out to a machine shop for repair or just inspection. Sorry but this doesn't sound cheap. T
