    Are you sure it's not steam?
    Either from water on the outside of your Rad, or coming from the leak in your manifold?

    I'm amazed how people mistake steam for smoke... Lol.

    is it when you first start it in the morning or is it like all the time if its all the time it could be leaking rad or even worse a headgasket leaking, water leaking through the water jackets, which is burn of in the combustion chamber and then leaking through the blowing exhaust
