Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help. I have searched the forum and the answer seem to vary. Just recently when starting my mini I get a big cloud of white smoke from the tailpipe. What do you think valve stem seals or head gasket??


Cheers

Paul

are you sure its white?? that normally suggests water!! it could just be condensation in the exhaust! if its got a bluet tinge it could be stem seals or valve and guide wear, or piston rings or even glazed bores!

Hi,
It looks white. maybe it is water?. Will get someone to start it whilst I watch for the colour.

Cheers
