Valve guide seals?

If I am not losing any coolant or oil in car, but car still blows decent amount of white looking steam out exhaust that doesn't smell sweet or like oil at all, is it possible that valve guide seals could be gone? Wasn't sure if that was possible if I wasn't losing oil.

Re: 1999 v70 white-ish smoke from tailpipe

Get to your nearest auto store and rent a block tester which will sniff for products of combustion in the coolant. I had to buy the small bottle of reagent, 8 bucks or so. My 850t at times appears to blow lot's of condensation from the tailpipe which for my car I know is "normal". I'd loo...

Re: 1999 v70 white-ish smoke from tailpipe

Give it a 30min drive in high rpms with few good pulls to empty that condensation from exhaust. If coolant level stays on the mark....it's just condensation. I drove it 55 miles up highway , high rpms, coolant level stayed nice. Car drove and felt fine. No loss of power or oil or coolant or anythin...

Re: 1999 v70 white-ish smoke from tailpipe

Radiator fixed.not losing coolant.still making "steam" even in warm temperatures outside, not as bad as cold weather but still doing it and still seeing water sitting in tailpipe and spitting out. Car running PERFECT have no clue what is going on but it is scaring me still.

Re: 1999 v70 white-ish smoke from tailpipe

I don't think I can without pulling it because it is right where there plastic meets the metal , worst case I will swap out with brand new radiator. The stuff in and coming out of tailpipe is whats confusing /worrying me. Out here again today looking at it and once again it's literally straight wat...

Re: 1999 v70 white-ish smoke from tailpipe

Fix that pinhole with someJB weld. You need pressure in your cooling system to stop the coolant from boiling You can then also monitor,the coolant level correctly and see if you are losing coolant somewhere Gonna have to pull raidator to fix pinhole , was thinking of trying the radiator stop-leak s...

Re: 1999 v70 white-ish smoke from tailpipe

You should fix that....radiator should not be empty in any case....even the expansion tank should not go below min level because you can trap air in the system and blow the headgasket....if not allready. Also....coolant in oil or oil in coolant are not always neccessary scenario...headgasket can be...

Re: 1999 v70 white-ish smoke from tailpipe

Really hope I can get some good advice because I don't know what to do now and tried every way I could think to figure it out.
