You need to be more descriptive. What color smoke? When does it smoke? All the time or only at start up

Dude, not to be a prick, but I have no idea what the hell you just said. If you want some help you've gotta atleast make a try at some grammar, punctuation, and atleast a little description of the problem if you want anyone to help.

Re: help please

either way its gonna be a gasket you're gonna need to replace, if its greyish and smells like antifreeze, its a head gasket. if its darker, it could be a few different gaskets (and its burning oil)

Re: help please

Its not necessarily a gasket. Could be the rings or valve stem seals.

I've had advanceauto scan my car before. There isin't anything they can mess up doing that. Plus they do it free when a dealer is going to charge like $80 just to tell you whats wrong.
