Technical Misbehaving again

Got another flat tyre yesterday and when I got out with engine running still there was a lot of white smoke, sonething I've not seen in mine before.

A quick Google brings up scary words like head gasket.

White smoke possibilities:
Coolant in the combustion chamber. Keep an eye on the coolant level and colour.
Cold engine, fuel not vaporising properly, so passing through unburnt and partially vaporised. It was a cold day, was the engine hot, or still cool?
Lots of condensation in the exhaust, or a cold damp day.

Ok thanks will keep an eye on it.

It was a cold day, no white smoke from startup this morning...

Just noticed your new avatar. Is that you practising for all those jobs under the car?

Yep! Building some much needed muscle... Sadly never seems to be the muscles needed to fix Multi lol. ?
