Head gasket? Or cold weather

[Garagedoorguy94]

This is my last post on this, mechanic is alll his infinite wisdom said I still don’t have a head gasket failure, I will be taking it to ther dealer today. I get the cold weather affects this, but this is just way too abnormal.

Doesnt look that unusual to me, assuming youre in 30 degrees ish or so. If it were a head gasket it would be WHITE, white out level WHITE smoke.

Certainly looks like a cold morning startup. This does not appear to be abnormal to me if it is cold out. Are you hearing any strange noises? The V6 engine is pretty reliable and I don't recall the head gasket ever being an issue on this engine.

check your oil for coolant, vice versa.. look under oil cap for coolant residue. You can test your coolant as well for exhaust gases if you really feel H/G.

That's just water vapor. Nothing to do with a blown head gasket. Go enjoy the car.

Yup completely normal operation. If you can see your breath outside then your car is gonna have water vapor coming out the exhaust as it heats up. Head gasket symptoms include VERY WHITE smoke. (Almost you cant see through) Loss of power, overheating, and creamy colored engine oil. Trust me I know. I own a 6.2 in a chevy silverado.......

It also smells like combusted antifreeze!!

That is normal .
Coolant in the pipes would be a white smoke screen. and you'd know it, from the smell.
