Cracked Head Gasket
Hey Guys,
When I start up my car a huge plume of white smoke shoots out the tail pipe and does not really subside much at all. White smoke does have an odor to it, I initially thought it smelled of burnt oil but now I believe i am smelling burnt coolant. My coolant reservoir is completely empty ! My oil resembles the characteristic milkshake color that goes along with cracked gaskets. What do you guys think? This car is brand new essentially.. has 8000 miles. What are the chances something is seriously wrong with the engine? Wonder if I am going to need a new engine rebuild. Nissan Canada told me they would fix this under warranty I really hope they don't try and squirm out of it I have a very strong feeling they will however. I'm glad I realized this was a serious issue before the engine overheated as far as I know according to gauges the car never overheated so I am lucky there. I thought I would make a new thread on this issue because the old one does not accurately describe whats going on. Old thread: 2012 370Z burning oil Originally I thought the car was burning oil, turns out its a cracked gasket. Last edited by mhcoss; 05-02-2013 at 04:51 PM. |
