is it really sluggish and not want to go anywhere either? is it generally "demotivated" with bad fuel economy? are you noticing the headlights to have a reddish tint to them? if you answer yes to any of these...

that post means this thread is a joke without more information.... how many miles? automatic or manual? do you have a vacuum leak perhaps? have you done anything to check besides post this thread?

Well, assuming the engine is warm and your not just seeing condensation, and that the smoke your talking about is coming from the exhaust pipe or the engine bay, probability pretty much says coolant system leak. Sucking in brake fluid or tranny fluid is possible in some cases, but the likelyhood of that making visible smoke isn't much. I'd look for a head gasket first....

Yeah, it's almost as vacuous as your description of what needed rebuilt on your head.
