hi i'm experiencing white smoke and vapor coming out of the exhaust. here's a video:


i'm reading here and there that it could be a computer issue, but i doubt with that much water coming out...

any ideas? it wasn't do this before i started doing some other work on it. there's gotta be something i did. what would be causing this?

Are you consuming coolant? U can get a coolant test kit that you drop in a sample amount of coolant to test for exhaust residue in the coolanr

The only fix for that is to get yourself a new Es300

Haha j/k, my '97 does the same thing also, I just don't get that much
condensation.

Valve stem seal, maybe?

Have you replaced your fuel filter yet? Our 97 ES had light whitish smoke and odd exhaust smell at 115,000 mi. and went away after fuel filter replacement.

The 1993 Lexus ES300 has a 3vzfe engine...which is prone to head gasket blowing issues.

My car recently had the same issues, had to replace the head gasket. No more white smoke.

Have you noticed a loss in power?
