White smoke with drip water from exhaust

[dreamZz]

Dear all,
I jz bought a perdana v6, but early morning i noted when i start engine for a minute or two. Then my exhaust start blowing white smoke for a while then dissapear then the vapor from exhaust is keep on increase and finally water drip out. If i press fuel pedal the water will splash out bit.

According to foreman, water drip out from exhaust meant the engine is good. But white smoke also blowing for a while once started the engine. So this 2 theory seem like contrast.

2nd, is semi-synthetic oil suitable for v6 which is 10 years old car?

Thankssss...

if im not mistaken,
white smoke comes out when engine is cold..
try to check when car is not cold..
still the same or not?/

bout water, i dont have any idea..

this prob comes everyday, or seldomly?/

i think the valve seals start to wear out...

yeah.. face the prob also..
seal is out,
then my spark plug is black..

normally when cold morning start, white smoke is the water vapour, but if white smoke continue after hot, it is seal problem...

just need to overhaul and check all the seals..
relax and chilled..

yes agree with danz i also had this prob several months back
and it could either be the turbine(if its a turbo car)
or valve seals in my case it was the turbine but i did top overhaul anyways
if it is turbine just service back and it will be A ok :top:

mine also have the same problem last time...when ask mec they always say got water is good...
then i went to another mec he say my valve seal need to change...after change no more smoke and water liow...

for me, it was normal. super normal. hot air met with cold air. vapour. there will be water drip due to this proses. n ur ejos's fiber were out oredy. especially when u use straight flow muffler. if valve seal, ur car will produce white smoke even when the engine oredy warm/hot. if there no white smoke when hot, then ur car was super cun.

Hello...i am facing the problem as well....white smoke in the mornings and i also notices traces of oil on my engine block...my mechanic suggested top overhaul with a cost of RM2k...is this reasonable price?

 

[DanzEterna]

Bro,
Semi Synthethic is ok. Only fully synthethic isn't suitable. I've been mixing 1litre of Petronas Semi-Synthethic with 4 litres of Petronas Mach5 20W/50. Been few years now already.
