Antifreeze burns white and makes the exhaust smell "sweet". If this is the case you may have a headgasket out. Quik Test, Bring the engine up to operating temp. Carefully, remove cap on the coolant resevoir. If you bubbles coming up from the hose going to the radiator, you probably have a gasket out or a crack in the cyl. head.
