1996 Other Saturn Models
----------------------------------------------------------------
ok, i have a 96 saturn, and i got it tuned up with an oil change a month ago. i guess he didnt do the oil change cause today i checked because it was making that "i need oil sound" and it was bone dry. i have no oil leak. i put 4 quarts in because it was so dry and then i drove home, about 2.5 miles. when i got home i noticed a white smoke coming from the tail pipe. i have not noticed it until i put the oil in my car, but it didnt smell or look like burning smoke. i understand that burning oil is black or blue. i did spill a bit of oil, but it was coming from my tail pipe not from under the hood. everything i have read is that white smoke means busted head gasket. please say its not a busted head gasket.... and if it is, let me rephrase my question: how much should i expect to pay for a busted head gasket on a 96 saturn???
