Help! A lot of smoke!

[AdamC10]

So I was driving to college today and everything was fine until I got into the usual traffic, never usually any problems when I get here and as usual, I moved up a few places and continued on. But then as I was sitting there a tonne of white smoke was just pouring out of my exhaust and it just wouldn't stop! Felt so embarrassed cause it was just covering everyone's cars.. I don't know what to do! Scared to drive it any further...

Check your coolant level, and check for cream in the oil filler cap.

White smoke ?

Steam.

Unless its just dumped its entire coolant if the headgasket has gone, it's just perfectly normal.

Checked oil filler cap and it is fine. Tried to check coolant but I could see where that what was gonna go.. Spit right in my face. That must be the problem. Fantastic
TheEvilGiraffe wasn't thin vapour, clouds of it basically and wasn't going away quickly so yeah must be head gasket woo. Time for scrap yard, no way I can afford to fix that! thanks for the help guys! Appreciate it!

Probably cheaper to drop a new engine in it..

Or as you say, scrappy.

Will get it diagnosed to make sure it's definitely the problem by a mate who's a mechanic and if it's headgasket then I will probably scrap it and save for a decent clio
