Coolant leak?
Or maybe that's blue smoke...
=\
White = water/coolant
It will be like a vapour and disappear quickly out the exhaust
Check your coolant levels. if it keeps falling below the min. line, you may have a leak.
Yeap, looks like you might have a coolant leak somewhere, most of the time it's in the head gasket.

i accidently took my EG to about 6K and i could of sworn i saw some black smoke...
but when i slowed down there was nothing...
maybe i was imagining...
My dc2r spurts about some black smoke around VTEC, which is just the excess fuel.Quote:

Checking piston rings i doubt they could do, but they could maybe do a compression test. It's not included in a normal service though.
kool guys..a few mechanics said it most likely to be the piston rings..anyone have a clue how much it cost to get em changed?..
