I was driving home normal and i see lots of smoke coming from the engine....so i take it home and its leaking oil and water....and theres lots of white smoke coming from the exhaust.....i checked the oil lines and it doenst seem to be leaking from there....i was told it could be a cracked head...:-\....???
 
Your headgasket is blown. Whats leaking under the car is coming down from the cylinder head, what is going out the exhaust is coolant leaking into the cylinders getting burnt.

You can either do a head gasket on your motor (Mitsu 3 layer metal and ARP head studs) or do a 6 bolt swap.
 
thanks dsmjim...i forgot to mention 2 things...1. the temp gauge went as high as it could and 2. For the past week its felt like it has a boost leak and it got worse everyday until yesterday when it finally leaked uncontrollably...could the hg be the cause of this or do i still gotta deal w/ the boost leak afterwards?
Thanks
