QuestionWhat should I do first if my car is producing white smoke?Community AnswerWhen you go from hot to cold weather temperatures and encounter humidity, condensation can cause white smoke. This should not happen all the time. If it does, check the motor oil for water. If it's all foamy white, than you have a leaking head gasket.

QuestionHow can I tell if I need new front shocks?Community AnswerYou will see uneven tire wear and the car might bounce excessively. Sometime noise and squeaks may be heard, however that alone is not an indicator of bad shocks. Rubber parts tend to squeak, especially in moist and humid regions or when it rains.

QuestionHow far can I drive a motor if it has a blown head gasket?Community AnswerIt’s not recommended to drive when the head gasket has blown especially if you know for sure. But if you chose to drive, you can get as far as your car can take you without overheating. Once it overheats, that's it.
