Hello, The car smokes when i press the gas pedal. the smoke comes out of the engine and from under my seat, it is a white smoke and smells like fuel. when the gear is in neutral it does not smoke, only when i press the gas pedal. what could be the problem? i do not want to be fooled by greedy mechanics in my country.

That is a good one, do you have holes in the floorboard? Never heard of smoke coming out of the side of the car from the engine?

Yes, I Have holes in the floorboard , think that's why its coming to the chamber , but the Car Recently Started smoking heavily "White Smoke" when i only push the gas pedal, but when it's in Neutral Nothing happens, the smoke is coming out from under the hood not the tailpipe

Also, I Recently Showed it to a Mechanic Nearby, He told me the smoke is bluish and Need an Engine Replacement but it's clearly Not, and i tested the Oil and its still the same, I've Been told that it might be the Head gasket, Also the Car Torque is Normal , not Heavy or Light
