Having Gray looking smoke coming out of your tailpipe can mean a number of different things.

In most cases Gray looking smoke coming from your exhaust is usually caused by your cars engine burning the oil or even could be a problem with the vacuum modulator on your automatic transmission allowing transmission fluid to enter your engine.

Another thing that can cause Gray smoke is a stuck or faulty PCV valve "Positive Crankcase Ventilation"
