White Smoke
I have a 71 olds cutlass with original 350 engine. Currently when starting up cold it blows white smoke until driven long enough for engine to warm up. Any possible things to look for?


Thanks

It may just be condensation on a cool humid day. Does the smoke smell like antifreeze?

^^X2... Also, check for liquid dripping from tail pipe... If it's clear and no antifreeze smell, it is only condensation coming from the muffler/pipes...

How does the smoke react, does it quickly evaporate in a second. Or does it linger in a cloud for a while. Coolant will do the later
