Smoke only acceleration from a full stop? Why?

[wheresmycar]

A miata I might buy has this problem.
Headgasket?

1996
60k miles

I think he mentioned the transmission seal is leaking?(checking up on this now)

edit:I'm not buying it. It has a Automatic transmission.

what color is the smoke? usally white head gasket, burning coolant. blue smoke burning oil

if it's purple smoke, that's bad, don't buy it

[wheresmycar]

Smoke is white. They say it's not the head gasket. It was driven at least 500 miles like this.

oops ABORT! I just looked closer at the interior. It is a automatic. Sorry.

smoke of any kind is never good. doesnt matter the color :bigeek:

hard acceleration and black/blue smoke isnt that big a deal. whites probably a head gasket.
