I can't figure out why my gas is leaking into the oil and there is a lot of white smoke coming out of the tail pipe. Can someone help?

Does not sound good for the home team. Since your vehicle is fuel injected the most likey culprit is a blown head gasket. Could also be a cracked head. You can have a compression test done to help pinpoint the problem.

Good luck and let us know. :)

Thanks for the info. By the way my van had been sitting for months before I started it. At first we had a lot of black smoke and we fixed that problem. Now we have the white smoke.
