Asked by michy2017 Dec 08, 2016 at 11:25 AM about the 2000 Ford Taurus SE

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2000 ford Taurus and I started it up this morning heavy whitish brownish smoke billowed from exhaust pipe and engine is misfiring. I have antifreeze in the overflow bottle and car has not run hot, but oil level is really low

Check the coolant to see if oil is in it but you probably have a bad head gasket.
