Smoke and smell problems in a Nissan Micra

Good evening! I have a 2003 Nissan Micra with 238,000 km and a gasoline engine. I'm experiencing the following problem: When the car is running and the RPMs go above 3,000, I notice white smoke with a strong smell coming from the exhaust. The engine temperature remains stable and I don't see anything alarming in the radiator. I've noticed similar symptoms in other Micras of the same year, but I'm worried it might be a problem with the head gasket. Has anyone experienced something similar?

A 2003 Nissan Micra is emitting white smoke with a strong smell from the exhaust when the RPMs exceed 3,000, though the engine temperature remains stable. This issue could potentially be related to a head gasket problem, especially if there is mixing of coolant and oil. Checking the coolant level and oil condition for signs of leakage or contamination is recommended to diagnose the issue further.

Check the coolant level and oil condition to see if there's any mixing, which could indicate a head gasket issue. If the coolant level is dropping or the oil looks milky, it might be a sign of a leak. Let me know what you find or if you have any further questions!
