Hello guys,
I’ve noticed smoke coming out of my Civic’s exhaust recently when the car is idle with AC for one or two hours. Other than that my car has no issue, didn’t feel underpowered. I took it to mechanics but no satisfactory answer was given. Please help! I’d like to know what the problem is, if anyone jas experientvbo

What is the color of smoke and does it give smoke on high revs 5000 to 6000rpms? Is the car reducing any oil?

As Zoraiz said the definitive answer can be given if you share the color of smoke your car is producing.

if your car is smoking blue. Then get ready for an engine over haul or keep driving the way it is and keep checking the engine oil as engine over haul is expensive.

Did smoke arise after long rote drive??? I think it is due to long idling with ac on....

No smoke at 5-6k revs. And no car is not reducing oil.

It’s white smoke. Not blue.

then its definitely your gasket.

Yes, no such thing after a little drive. And this happens only after long idling with AC on.

Check your car smoke at morning cold start.

90 % chances are that your head gaskit has blown due to over heating. Worst case scenario is that your coolant is leaking in the cylinder.

No smoke at cold start.
