[aznbigbearjohn]

my friend bought the same exact car as mines cept hers was abused it looks like front valve cover gasket was leaking and now when she starts her car white smoke comes out could that be the headgasket?

cars not overheating the oil and radiator cap is not milky at all

It could be burning oil, I know of a gen4 with a 1MZ that had a very poor service history and wound up burning oil quite badly (despite having low km).

i would imagine so because that valve cover leak is going straight to the exhaust manifold but it should be pushing blue smoke no? idk im gonna do pressurized coolant test while the car is running to see if coolant is getting into the chamber

Might be piston rings.

The rear valve cover gasket on my car would leak oil right onto the exhaust manifold and burn white smoke.
