White smoke

Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. So sorry to hear you're having trouble with your Soul. The white smoke from the tailpipe, rough idle, and gas smell in the oil dipstick are signs of serious engine trouble, especially after hitting the deer. White smoke typically indicates coolant burning in the combustion chamber, suggesting a possible blown head gasket or other internal damage. The gas smell in the oil points to unburned fuel, which could indicate fuel system issues or even cylinder misfires. I'd recommend getting the vehicle towed to a shop immediately for a full inspection before driving it further, as continuing to drive could cause more damage. If you need more advice, have any other questions about your vehicle, or would like to get connected to a RepairPal Certified shop near you, we have you covered. Give us a call at 877-913-1554, and we will happily help you out!
