Alright, here it is. I drive a 89 crx and it is smoking out of the exhaust. I know that it isn't oil. It smells like antifreeze. Would anybody be able to tell why it is doing that, or basically whats wrong/how do I fix it? :confused:

if the smoke is white then it is antifreeze...........if the smoke has a blue tint then it is oil.

yea if the smoke is white, its anti-freeze, but if its blue, you sucked up a smurf with your CAI....

headgasket or cracked block. most often it's a headgasket.

Do you 'race' the CRX? How many miles on the motor? Have you ever had the head off?

First, and most probable, guess is head gasket.
