Well you see, I pulled the dipstick, and the oil looks fine (Not milky). The car isn't overheating (stays just below half on the temp gauge). The smoke doesn't smell sweet. And above all, it passed emissions with flying colors. So I don't think it's coolant related, although I could be wrong.

Question is, would the e-test detect coolant being burned?

And I mean, it's not like it's a massive thick cloud of white smoke.. it's more of a light cloud that increases with reving.
