When I start the car when it is cool I get a lot of white smoke. This usually disapates after the car is warmed up. I recently had an oil leak from the oil filter o-ring repaired. I thought this was causing the smoke, however the smoking continues. What else may be causing the smoking?

I checked, radiator level remains constant. My oil level drops, I think its a seal or gasket leak. I tried leak stopper, it help a little. I'm gonna try replacing the valve seals. What do you think?

Blue smoke= oil burning

Blk smoke = excess fuel mixture

White smoke= coolant leak in engine

Still say it's the head gasket...refilling from expansion tank on cool down..ck the coolant level there.. older cars use oil....it's no big deal,,,,,,,
