1998 Ford Escort 4 cyl Automatic
Everyday when I start my car it smokes from the tail pipe, it is white smoke. It doesn't smoke while I'm driving it but I have to start it about 15min before I leave everydayso it won't smoke when I am on the road. Yesterday I changed my oil and it put oil for cars with high miles, which mine does, along with some stuff from Lucas. I know a lot of things say if it is white then it is anti freeze getting in the head gasket but it doen't smell like anti freeze. Could I need a new head gasket?
