Smoke..

[SanTa_]

With smoke comes a noise when the car is turned on.

The noise is comming near the motor. The smoke doesnt smell like gas either, and it jsut keeps comming out

Possibly head gasket?

Someone else said the turbo could be dumping the coolant.

your friend could be right, that is alot of smoke that looks more like you have a serious head gasket leak

one way to find out if you blew your head gasket is check is its leaking any oil..or have somebody look at you get on the car n if the smoke is white then you know its your headgasket

Does the smoke have a sweet smell. a sweet smell is a good indication that it is coolant. I woud do a compression test and a leakdonw test to verify that it is the head gasket befor you go tearing things a part.

Force, has it pegged if it's sweet in smell then you have coolant issues. My guess would be that after seeing the video I would have to say that you have leaking coolant. Judging by the where its coming from probably Headgasket. When was that gasket replaced last?

If it was coolant, that would be steam! Looks like smoke to me.

remember your not just burning water your burning coolant thats what the smoke is from

From what I can tell, it looks like a head gasket to me. Try pressure testing the cooling system.

Where is the steam then? I doubt he's running straight coolant

Where is the steam then? I doubt he's running 100% anti-freeze.

steam mixed with smoke, how can you tell one from the other???????

I would have to say head gasket i just went threw that and then locked up the tranny . But that is head gasket from the looks of it.

I'm not saying there is not steam present. The video is not the greatest quality so its hard to tell.

You can tell the difference between the two! Steam is a lot heavier then smoke and also dissipates faster.

Did the OP figure out his problem?

It was the turbo that the coolant was being dumped by.
