White smoke coming from valve cover tube...

webyosan · 07-16-2009, 01:51 AM

It's blowing a lot of white smoke when I disconnect the rubber hose from engine valve cover to intake, BUT no sign of white smoke from exhaust at all. It's not a head gasket since coolant is full and not milky mix on the oil or residue on oil cap. I feel this could be the rings that are giving out and thus I might do a compression test tomorrow...Hopefully I can find some answers from you guys..Thanks!

BTW- It burns oil a little but not that bad, the engine is still shaking after putting in new front/rear engine mount.

Original engine matching the Vin number = 300,XXX miles and still running but with bad rings...That's 4age rare I guess..

If the smoke was blue I'd think it was from oil burning.

If the smoke is white, I'd think it was from coolant.

What does the smoke smell like?
