I've got white smoke coming out of my T2 VW camper, can you explain?

Question

white smoke pouring out of my '73 devon. Air-cooled 1600, only 3000 miles on the clock.

any ideas? cylinder head gasket? piston rings shot?

thanks a lot!!

Answer 1

pretty easy to see walk around back and smell it it could be either smell oil then ring smell coolant then it head gasket

Answer 2

White smoke means usually water into the gas. So I would say piston rings.

Answer 3

Where are you? If it's winter it is prolly nothing but condensation. For everybody else a 1973 T2 aircooled VW doesn't have either headgaskets or a water based cooling system, hence the word AIRCOOLED in the question.
