White smoke is burning coolant. Will most like be headgasket unfortunately. If your going to get it done would be a good idea to get them to do the rings as well. I've had 3 where they start burning oil after a head gasket change. | |

Get some forte car coolent flush it has uv dye in it when it's dark flush your engine and purchase a uv light off eBay and you'll be able to see all the leaks as it will show up bright geen under uv light | |

What would it be if the engine was using water as it has got quite a bit of white smoke , and will check all of the above , I was wondering could it be the water pump ? Thanks for your reply | |

If the engine is using water i'd expect to see excessive white smoke from the exhaust. | |

Hi , I have a corsa b 1.6 sport and over the last couple of days I have had to keep filling the header tank up with water as it completely drains which is making it heat up to like 95-100 and causing the heater not to work. I can't see any leaks myself but I was just wondering is there anything I could look for or what it possibly be before I take to to a garage ? Thankyou :) |
