ok i know somethings wrong now!!! when i was putting my new rotors on my 99 gs n/t i noticed the undercarriage was covered in oil, so i tightened some bolts & checked the dipstick it was pretty dry (that's why i hate having the 'too late' lights, i would rather have a analog guage that shows whats going on underneath the hood) i then pressure washed the engine so i could hopefully find where the leak was, well i added some oil, and i was driving to the garage and POOF a huge constant cloud of white smoke, came pouring out of the back of my car, WHAT THE HELL !!!??? so did i blow my head gasket ? did i f*$@ up the engine that bad ? the SOB only has 53k miles on it, if it is the HG how hard is it to get too? do i have to pull the whole engine out or can i get to it from underneath? ive read a few posts and other people have had the same problem but their cars are all turbos and have 170k miles on it. PLEASE ANYONE----->> H E L P i shouldnt need a new engine right ? if so what does 1 cost?

when my head gasket messed up i think it was pretty hard to get to...i think u might have messed urs up from what i read on these threads ..but dont quote me i say go get it looked at

New HG time. White smoke is coolant leaking into cylinders thru blown HG (pressure testing cooling system will verify).

 

[uh-oh]

your head gasket is definely gone...it is most likely the garbage composite...the HG isnt hard if you do it right but it does take a full day with just hand tools...I have no problem walking you through it if you like...i have done about 16,000 of them on boosted 420as so i have is memorized

GEt the head surfaced! when you do the head.

while you at it you may as well just have the head milled .020...may as well get some power from this process
