The engine is not necessarily "gone". You do have a problem though. You need to get it checked asap. White "smoke" is usually a sign of a blown head gasket.

The engine didn't go anywhere. You can still see it when you open the hood. It needs to be repaired. You need a detailed diagnosis from a real mechanic who can actually tell what the symptoms mean.

It may be oil smoke from any variety of wear issues. It may be steam from coolant migrating into the combustion chambers though a blown head gasket or cracked head. The piston rings may be worn beyond service. The engine may need to be partially disassembled to determine the exact problem. Many guesses can be made using compression measurement and leakdown tests. Whenyou actually look at suspected faults, that's where you finally know what's wrong.

White smoke is an indication of coolant being burnt in the cylinders. You either have a blown head gasket or a cracked head and it is allowing antifreeze to enter one or more cylinders.

That does not mean the engine is history. It simply means the head/s need to be removed and pressure tested and a new head gasket set installed. You're looking at about $800 out the door normally.

do notpersistent the automobile! sure, that's a defective gauge or cord yet while it quite isn't any longer, you should blow a head gasket and it quite isn't any longer low value.you're starting to be a foul belt, a leaky hose, a leaking radiator, a defective fan or relay. That grew to become into your warning, the subsequent warning would be too late once you blow your head gasket and water and oil mixture and you have a large style of white exhaust smoke! restoration it now. solid success.

yes def. i'm sorry to tell you that. but it needs an engine repair, is the engine noise too loud?

is it white smoke that comes out and disappears in seconds or does it last in the air?

White Smoke is normally steam,

has there been any coolant loss? if there has it could be a head gasket blown
