Hi,


That means that the petrol is not consumed efficiently and are not completely burnt.  Please be careful some of the gases might be very poisonous (e.g. CO).
Best regards,

It might indicate you have a problem with your catalytic converter.

This may indicate your rings need replacing. Oil leaking in is burning causing the smoke.

It depends on what color it is,if it is black most likely it is to rich of a fuel mixture,if it is white & tends to dissipate quickly it is coolant ,or a blown head gasket,if it is a white to bluish color it is usually oil hope this helps

What is the color of the smoke? blue means that the engine is using oil from broken oil ring, bad valve oil seals ect.  If the smoke is black the engine is using too much gas, this smoke is probably from  un burned gas. If smoke is white water is leaking into the  combustion chamber blowen head gasket, cracked head ect. Is it using oil? do you have to continually add water to radiator. If you are continuall adding water check the radiator pressure cap. if the cap is not holding pressure water is blowing out on ground.
