Question
my  blazer stinks. The dip stick doesnt show any oil but oil pressure gauge says  its okay. But it has a whitist smoke coming out of exhaust

Answer
Bluish White is usually indicative of Oil consumption by the Motor, just plain white, that dissipates fairly quickly, can be from an internal Coolant leak, either from a bad Head Gasket, or a hairline crack in the Engine Block. If you have been having to add Coolant, and there isn't any on the ground, then that might be the source of your vehicle's white exhaust smoke.
