1992 Ford Taurus white smoke

When you open the hood what did you see? I need the color of the fluid that is leaking

well its night time but i did pop the hood I had to open the door get a flash light thaen I popped the hood by then the smoke was gone i have to go somewhere in the morning I will know more then

i HAVE BEEN TRYING TO UPLOAD A PICTURE TO SHOW U WHERE THE SMOKE IS COMING FROM BUT IT WONT GO THROUGH IS THERE ANY OTHERE WAY FOR ME TO SEND A PICTURE 2 U

Is it power steering fluid, engine oil, transmission fluid,antifreeze, brake fluid?

unsure there is just white smoke coming from the engine it appears to be coming from underneath

Its either the oil pan or the valve cover gasket leaking and dripping on the exhaust causing the smoke.

is there anything I can do to fix this? will it damage my car?

Try tightening the valve and oil pan covers and see what happens-

Well I was on my way to pick up my friend so he could look at my car. About 9 miles on the freeway I notice a clanking noise everytime I accelerated. Then my acceleration was almost non existant I had to floor it to get from 55 to 60 thats when I thought I should get off the freeway.After I exited my car died right there at the light on the off ramp luckily it started back up but drove extremly rough and the shaking that it normally does at 65mph it was doing everytime I slowed down or stopped.

( I realize this is a lengthy post and I will redonate:) )

Lets do this other than the smoke-have the idle speed control, throttle position sensor and fuel pressure checked-

ok but whats up with the smoke?

1992 Ford Taurus white smoke, your origninal question


I'm a lil bit confused here -which one do you want me to fix what's causing the smoke or what's making it not to accelerate and stalling?

are they related? I have only had the car a week found your site and posted the smoke issue then today I had the car clinking, shking, stalling issue which by the way was accompanyed by smoke.

Do you have a check engine light?

No its not related have the idle speed control motor and throttle position sensor and EGR valve checked out.
