White smoke coming from exhaust!
I have white smoke coming from exhaust. The car is also very sluggish.
Have checked the oil cap and there is no 'mayonniase like substance'.
Is it safe to drive at all? or not?
Anything I can do if the cylinder head gasket is ABOUT to go (ie to prevent it happening)
Thanks

Check for a drop in coolant level.
It's probably OK to drive a short distance like to the nearest garage but you'll want to get this fixed pretty fast as the risk is you'll get overheating and a damaged cylinder head.
