1996 Tacoma 2.7 White Smoke Lots of it!! - Toyota Tundra Forums : Tundra Solutions Forum

Here is problem...
Cold start, the White Smoke just poures out of the exhaust. The Oil level is good for now and no CEL. Seems if I run it long enough the smoke fades. Don't notice any power loss and the truck seems to idle just fine.

Thoughts?

Thanks!!

Hows your coolant? Any Milk in there?

No milk in the coolant or oil. I am guessing the head gasket leaking coolant. Stealership to have a look on Monday morning.

Just an update...
The tech at toyota pulled the plugs and found coolant was leaking into cylinder 2.
Replaced the head gasket, plugs, fuel filter and belts. The truck runs like a champ now...
Looking to get another 100K out of her.

The just don't make them like they used to, probably the reason I like her so much!!
