I didn't realize my car was leaking oil. It started sputtering and a friend told me to stop and check it. There was almost none. I put more in and on my way back to work it still sputtered and white smoke was coming out of the muffler ( a lot). Is that from the low oil and newly added or could it be my head gasket? I have transmission problems too but I have dealt with those for a while.
=(
Thanks, Barbie

white smoke was coming out of the muffler . This is an indication that coolant is being burn in the combustion chamber


What you need to do is get it block and pressure tested to rule out a blown headgasket cracked head and block
