If you find smoke coming from the car, there may be a cylinder head gasket or engine damage caused by low temperatures. The former due to the cylinder head gasket is damaged cooling fluid into the combustion chamber, not only reduces the quality of the mixture, and the exhaust pipe into steam white smoke, then the need to replace the gasket; while the latter is due to the engine is cold the combustion chamber, with drops of water on the inner wall of the intake manifold, etc., together with a mixture combustion exhaust white smoke. In this case only improve vehicle temperature.

Blue exhaust smoke
