Hey all, I just noticed this today, but my Polaris Predator puffs out a little amount of white smoke after the rpms climb down after being revved. I recently changed the oil in it and also took it on a trail ride where the engine was in some water( just above the footpegs in water). Also I noticed the the seal between the muffler and the tip is cracked, and was wondering if that would cause it? Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what might be causing this? Also the quad runs fine and does not smoke while at idle. I am however pretty sure that the coolant level has fallen a small amount and was wondering if that is the most likely reason where would be the first place to look?

White smoke = water/coolant

Blue smoke = oil

Black = rich

Sounds like you have a head gasket gone bad if your blowing white smoke and your coolant level is going down.
