white smoke from tailpipes.
[/B]There could be a possibility that the head gasket is leaking antifreeze into the combustion chamber from any of rhe cylinders. A good mechanic told me if you have white smoke coming out of the tailpipe it's antifreeze and it will have a sweet smell to it. Blue smoke is oil leaking past the piston rings and black smoke is the engine running too rich with fuel.
