I started my car last night and a ton of pretty thick exhaust came out. Not black just really thick and smelled incredibly fumy. Is this bad? I have a few problems with it already that I need to fix, is this another one or the cause of not fixing one of the prior problems yet?
was it white and smell sorta sweet if so then its head gasket problem

How long did it sit? was it blueish? Valve seals can leak oil and your start up will be blue while the oil burns off in the chamber

sure as hell didn't smell sweet haha but unfortunately you're right....blown head gasket. What exactly is the cause of this to happen?
thanks
