My dad has a '90 mx 6 he bought for a beater and is trying to get running…he says it blows white smoke when you start it up but then it quits and he has drivin it to work a fews times and the drive is about an hour long and it hasnt blown up yet so he doesn’t think its anything serious…any suggestions? The car did sit a lil while before being run again and it has around 100,000 miles on it…2 liter automatic ---

> [@5ltr eater](#): > > white is usually from antifreeze Headgasket was my very first thought, but he said it stops after a few minutes and the car runs fine…unless it’s a very minor gasket issue. ---

> [@5ltr eater](#): > > white is usually from antifreeze thats what im thinkin. its a headgasket… check the oil. see if it looks milky. thats the first way to look and diagnose it. more then likely the problem. ---

go behind the car and see if you smell a sweet scent. if its only blowing a white kind of smoke in the morning then its just cold and its condensation ( same reason why people get water coming out of their exhaust and freak out 🤣 ) just like don said, check to see if the oil is milky, and see if your exhaust smells sweet ---
