white smoke?

Post by drumnut182 »

Hi,well I keep filling up my header tank water but now notice sum white smoke/steam coming out (esp under load - up hill, pulling away). Does this sound like cyliinder head gasket? There are no leaks, no oil in coolant, but she does seem to b losing abit of power.
I think she is burning the coolant but need a bit of advice on this if anyone can help.

Many thanks
