would that make my car undrivable?? cause it still drives. and i still drive it! haha. is that bad?

Does this happen after its warmed up? On a cold day it may take several minutes from a cold start to cook off all the condensation in the pipes. If this happens after a warmup, then its trouble....

Also, please don't joke about an exhaust leak into the cabin. CO is color less and odor less and is deadly - its not a game. If its leaking into the cabin park the car and fix it quick.

How are your oil and water levels?

its burning oil like crazy!!! i have to put oil in daily. i always warm my dart up before i drive away. it seems NOT to smoke as much while i'm warming her up but more so when im driving.

I once drove a 1989 ford aerostar from chino, ca to riverside, ca on a cracked head. It was only like 60 miles or so check your oil and water. If its coffee colored, then you have a headgasket leak. if your oil is clean, you might be lucky and have a pinhole leak in the headgasket from a water source that dumps into your cylinder. Driving like this can erode the sparkplug Do not drive it unless its an emergency, then you can loosen the radiator cap just a little, to relieve pressure. But if there is an exhaust leak into the cabin, AND a blown headgasket, why would you risk it?

"Go ahead and keep driving" is thoughtless advice. You are endangering yourself and everyone else who shares the road with you. Park the car now and give your engine the major attention it needs.

Blue white smoke indicates oil burning, and will be more pronounced under acceleration, or coast-down from WOT. Coolant vaporizing in the exhaust will look more like water vapor, and dissipate quickly, additionally it will smell sweet.

Couple things: 1. If it's burning oil, it's probably getting by the valve seals, or the piston rings (most likely). It that case, it will need a rebuild. 2. If oil is actually leaking out, it could be leaking out of a broken gasket somewhere and dripping on the exhaust. (Ask me how I know this). However, if you can actually see smoke coming out of the tailpipe, then it's #1. In my case smoke was billowing out of everywhere, and I couldn't tell if it was coming from the exhaust or not.

Sounds like you either have work piston rings or worn cylinder bores. (1) Do a compression check (2) Rebuild the motor if the compression check is low
