Hello, The car smokes when I press the gas pedal. The smoke comes out of the engine and from under my seat, it is a white smoke and smells like fuel. When the gear is in neutral it does not smoke, only when I press the gas pedal. What could be the problem? I do not want to be fooled by greedy mechanics in my country.

That is a good one, do you have holes in the floorboard? Never heard of smoke coming out of the side of the car from the engine?

Yes, I Have holes in the floorboard, think that's why its coming to the chamber, but the Car Recently Started smoking heavily "White Smoke" when I only push the gas pedal, but when it's in Neutral Nothing happens, the smoke is coming out from under the hood not the tailpipe

Also, I Recently Showed it to a Mechanic Nearby, He told me the smoke is bluish and Need an Engine Replacement but it's clearly Not, and I tested the Oil and its still the same, I've Been told that it might be the Head gasket, Also the Car Torque is Normal, not Heavy or Light
