is this common for the ls1 my ls1 has 71,000 on it i started it up yesterday afternoon and white smoke started coming out the exhaust, it has never happened before so i called a couple of friends and they said check the oil and antifreeze well i checked the oil and it was good a little low ( it has never been low before ) so i checked the antifreeze and it seemed to be really runny and have oil in it, does this mean my ls1 is dead, dying or what it still runs very strong and doesnt over heat, after the car warmed up the smoke went away the only thing i did to it that day was file down egr a little bit more but i dont think that had anything to do with it, what do you guys think could be causing this

i took it back to where i bought it from and the said they did a the 101 point inspection on it but i guess they lied ( imagine that ) cause they said i bought the car as is so its not there problem, so i told them to f*ck off,they have treated us like sh*t since we bought the car we will never go back there again ( Bales Jeep Chrysler )

car cant be sold as is if there is a warranty on it tell them to fu2k off again.and also the green coolant can not be in there says it right in the engine bay.dexcool is the only coolant that is supposed to be used.
