white smoke from exhaust

[sangfroid]

Hi,

By mistake, I overfilled the gas tank even after click and now my toyota corolla is giving out white smoke from exhaust.

"check engine" lamp is not coming out again. It is still off.

What could be going on wrong ? Is this something that will get automatically fixed ?Any ideas ??

Overfilling gas tank doesn't have anything to do with smoke coming from the exhaust.
Your car is probably burning oil

Burning oil.

All cars spew "white smoke" (which is actually moisture) on cold mornings. You sure it's not just that?

Filling the tank has nothing to do with it.

that is true. but he says it has been spewing it. so i was assuming it was thru out the drive or day

Hard to know from that description. It's anybody's guess at this point.

^This. If you get a sweet smell with white smoke I'd suggest getting the car looked at.

I get loads of white smoke at start, and all through a drive it usually does, but I have no weird smells and not losing any fluids, just moisture or something, or a bigger problem I don't know about yet

actually burning oil is bluish smoke or atleast that happend to my old car

and yeah thought white could mean the head gasket was damaged that happend to my brother once when he head a Subaru leone turbo
