A few facts for ya.

Coolent leak would cause white steam to come out of your tail pipe:
Either/both
a: Oil ends up in your coolent (radiator)
b: Coolent in your oil (checking oil on stick will look like chocolate milk)

As stated above, oil burning looks blue-ish or black and smells like oil burning.
(you can tell easly)

If your car has for somereason digested break fluid, you can smell that to.


You said your car was low on coolent, it might have over heated and cracked the head and now is leaking coolent in to the combustion camber.

Let the car cool down and remove your radiator cap. Does it decrease?

Does the "smoke" increase when you rev your engine out?
