Update, Mechanic tested for a blown head gasket, test came back negative and fluid remained blue, which means there is no blown head gasket or it’s a significantly small leak, however he doesn’t believe that’s the issue. he needs it brought to the shop for further diagnostic and will be doing a compression test. Some relief.

Is it still doing it?
Mechanic definitely saw it when he showed up to diagnose it today. He must have gave it a bunch of strong revs in the driveway as I now have black soot looking splatter on the concrete by the exhaust. It sat for a few hours before I got home, when I did a cold start barely anything came out of the exhaust so who knows. I dropped it off for further diagnosis.

i thought this was happening when it was hot, then parked and restarted within a shorter time..

black soot water coming out of the exhaust is completely normal..

It sat all night and half the day before he showed up and started it, he confirmed the large amount of white smoke. Doesn’t seem to matter I suppose.
