Hey guys.

Just got an 2003 work auto. no modes on it.
changed the radiator as it was leaking, and oil change.
Took it out for a test and its blowing white smoke from exhaust

Would anyone have any.idea??

any chance of you posting a video, or doing a search on the forums?

Post makes little sense, but I presume you have an auto 2003 wrx, and it was leaking from the radiator, which you changed but its still puffing white smoke?

Well, its probably pissed all the coolant out and done a head gasket.

White smoke = coolant/water

Take it to a workshop - have them run some tests for you

Oil would be/is blue smoke when burninating

This is true, However the amount of times ive seen people mistake white smoke for blue is quite extensive.

check if there's bubbles coming back through your overflow tank, if so that will be a blown head gasket

does the white smoke smell like ass? if so probably coolant, as tj said.... bhg

sorry about my crappy post, buy yea it had a leaking radiator which i replace with a kayo, and also did the oil and filter change.

according to me its, its not blue smoke, its white.
thing is that when you start the car with the cap off, it blows the coolant back out. Thus its the head gasket.
But the funny thing is that its consumed a lot of coolant which its puffing out and also has used up all the oil i put in.
p.s. i filled everything up to the correct capacity, and checked all of them. so no i did not over fill oil.

thanks for your advise guys

i had the same problem with white smoke turned out my
coolant to turbo hose was leaking coolant had it fixed no more white smoke
but normally white smoke means turbo problem
