White Smoke Coming From Exhaust
OK- looking for some help from the car guys around here.

I have a 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX. A friend was following me yesterday, and noticed that my car was putting out a small amount of blue/greyish smoke from the exhaust under hard acceleration. Today when I started it up. It was putting out a small amount of smoke while it was warming up. Once it warmed up the smoke stopped.

I know the car has a valve cover gasket leaking. And it smells like the car is running rich. Performance wise the car runs great. Turbo spools up just fine, and doesn't seem to have lost any power. Yesterday after around a hour and a half drive, I shut the car off, went inside the store, and when I came back out- the car was acting like it wanted to turn over but it wouldn't fire. Eventually it did start up.

Any input appreciated.

I'm no mechanic, but blue smoke = oil burning and white smoke = gasoline, if I'm not mistaken.

If it smells sweet you have a blown head gasket.

It isn't overheating though. It has somewhat of a sweet smell- but I believe I am smelling gas. (Running rich)

Most likely means you have water in your gas. Siphon a little into a cup and take a drink. If it tastes watery then you'll need to pour some bleach in your tank to burn out the water.

Blue gray is usually oil. White is antifreeze. black is too rich or flooded.

Yeah it's more blue/gray. I was concerned it may be my turbo- but the car hasn't lost any performance and the turbo isn't making any unusual noises. I may pull it apart a bit tomorrow and check the blades on it.

I would say it's getting in the cylinders from somewhere , oil that is. Probably fouled the plugs a little, hence the no start

Right on. A change of plugs and wires is on my to do list so I'll have a chance to see with the plugs look like.

Thanks for the input

Where would the oil be coming from that it would get into the cylinders? Am I looking at bad rings possibly?

Rings, valve seals, head gasket on some vehicles. All are fairly major most of the time

Blown turbo should be oil.

Head gasket would be water.

Check the downpipe for oil Jason? Any chance this is related to my valve cover gasket that is leaking?
