White Smoke???

I was coming back from lunch today and one of my co-workers was behind me. I pull up to the guard gate to show my ID and I drove in...when we got to the parking lot my co-worker told me that when I pulled off I had a puff of white smoke from my exhaust. White isn't good since white is telling me that I am burning water/coolant. It only happened that one time. I had one of my friends rev the car while I stand behind it to see if there is a puff of white smoke but there we'rent any. What could've caused the car to do that?

Thanks

white = coolent burning
blue = oil burning
black = carbon?

i might be wrong

that is correct. one way you can burn coolent is if you need a new head gasket. check your coolant for any oil in it and your oild for any coolent in it.

Coolant.

Blue and white smoke look very much alike, hard to tell the diff sometimes. Check the oil and coolant res. to be sure.
