1991 Acura Legend 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 263.00 miles

I have white-blue smoke comming from the exhaust but only when the car is at stoplights, then it will gradually start to get hot, but the car has no los of power. Could this be a head gasket?

Hi kristinewillett,

Bluish smoke means oil is being burnt in the cylinders and it usually is caused by worn valve seals and/or piston oil rings.

You mean it overheats when at a stop? Are there any coolant losses from the radiator?
Are the radiator fans working?
