toronto,
Hey guys,
i just ran into a problem tonite and need help asap please...
i just fixed the thermostat and installed a k & n filter today and was testing the car after and everything seemed good no problems...
so i was revving the car couple times to hear the difference in the cut air can mod that i did and right after that all this smoke came out of my engine bay...(by the way the car was fully warmed up, i did not rev on a cold engine) i popped the hood and thought i had blown the turbo but then the smoke smelled like coolant leaking and quickly checked and it was the coolant but it wasnt leakin from the thermostat area BUT from where the downpipe was and was leaking really hard...
i quickly shut the car off let it cool a lil then started it back up hoping to to mess up my turbo coz at first i though the turbo went but the turbo was fine...
what im not sure of is how its leaking from where the downpipe is there is no coolant there or there is?? and wat do you guys think could be the problem... suggestions asap please!!! thanks
ps.sorry about the write up but tried to be as detailed as possible to narrow things down...
