Hello,
My Accord is overheating and smoke is coming from the exhaust system. What type of repairs is necessary to fix this problem? Is the engine blown?
I left my car with family and they drove it until smoke came out of the exhaust. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Smoke is not a good thing to be coming out of the exhaust. First off, are you loosing radiator fluid or oil? You need to find out what is going out of the exhaust.
If you have the 4 cylinder engine, then it might be a blown head gasket if you are loosing fluids.
If you have the V6 then it might be your intake manifold. Either way I would stop driving it until a repair has been made.
