Common signs of an exhaust system issue is unusual smoke coming from the tailpipe. Different smoke colors can indicate specific problems:

• Black Smoke: This typically signals that your engine is burning too much fuel, which could be due to a clogged air filter, faulty fuel injectors, or a malfunctioning sensor.
• Blue Smoke: If you notice blue-tinted smoke, it’s a sign that oil is burning in the engine. This could result from worn piston rings, valve seals, or other internal issues.
• White Smoke: A small amount of white vapor is normal, especially on cold Truckee mornings. However, thick white smoke could indicate coolant leaking into the engine, which may suggest a blown head gasket or a cracked engine block.
