white smoke coming out of driver side of motor?

[theboss88]

i got white smoke coming out of the driver side of the motor
the belt would squeel for a while but would go away after car would start
but now the belt doesnt squeel instead white smoke pours out of the side
heres a video:

white smoke is normaly a blown head gasket but if its coming from the bottom end i would say front case got knocked loose or maybe blew the front case gasket but highly unlikely i would lean more toward the blown head gasket.

The 4g63 steam engine!!! It DOES exist!

 

[theboss88]

yea so you think the head gasket blew so replace the head gasket?

 

[theboss88]

is there any heater hoses or coolant hoses on that side?

 

[theboss88]

the head has like 3000 miles on it and so does the gasket

 

[Backinajiffy12]

Thats odd...Well what happened that this white smoke started? how much PSI were you running? any fuel cut?

 

[TOONAH]

What does the smoke smell like? Oil or coolant? Oil could be dripping onto the down pipe>

 

[theboss88]

look at the video the power sterring belt was squeeling then just stop but i tryed drving the car while it was misfirein and the its like something popped and white smoke started to come out of the engine bay

 

[Backinajiffy12]

do a compression check and you will be able to figure out real quick if its you head gasket

 

[theboss88]

well its def coolant it smells like it, and the smoke is coming out of the area of the head gasket. the car is stock
anyone ever blow their head gasket

Are your belts and all your pulleys spinning? You could have a seperated dampener or one of your accessories could have siezed up. Also possibly it could be your alt frying internally.

Nevermind I mised your last post. Check your coolant pipe where it connects to the water pump.

 

[theboss88]

ok cause i checked the oil there is no coolant mixed in with the oil
and there is no oil leaking just coolant
im think that a hose popped of and everytime the water pump spins as puff of smoke comes out

 

[joe sobo]

if you look at the water pump on the car, there is a round pressed in metal freeze out plug on the water pump. this may have popped out as it did on my car with only 23p.s.i of boost.

it may be hard to see, cause it would be located behind the altenator

 

[theboss88]

well i think the head gasket blew

 

[booostedGSX]

Is there any water squirting out from the water pump housing? You may have blown the water pump gasket as well.

 

[theboss88]

yea theres coolant but the smoke really puffs out like crazy and a mist of coolant comes out with it

 

[theboss88]

but what i dont get is that there is no foam on oil cap and the oil looks clean

 

[theboss88]

would a blown water pump gasket do this?
its not leakin any oil while it sitting it just shoots it out why its running?

 

[delta448]

You're going to need a new headgasket and a new water pump in the least. The squealing was caused by the pump. Either the pump failed first and the engine overheated, or the headgasket failed leading to the coolant system being pressurized by the cylinders and resisting the belt movement. If the block was not properly surfaced before you put the head on, the leaky gasket probably broke the pump. If the block was prepped correctly, then the pump failure probably led to overheating, head warpage and a blown headgasket.

Either way its the same parts to replace.

 

[theboss88]

the car sounds like a piston going non stop
and the smoke seems to be coming from below the head gasket line like toward the crank shaft

 

[delta448]

If the engine never overheated, and the pump or it's gasket is the culprit, you won't have to replace the headgasket. One way to find the coolant leak is to drain and then pressurize the system with a compressor and spray soapy water near where you suspect a leak(make sure the engine is plenty cool before trying this). Sorta like doing a boost leak test on the cooling system. Make sure you open the oil fill cap and listen when you pressurize the coolant system, if there are any air leaks there, the HG will definitely have to be replaced. A compression test is also in order to verify the headgasket is still sealing, particularly pay attention to how cylinder #1's results compare to the rest.

 

[theboss88]

the car never over heated
the car was misfireing then when i tried to driv ethe car with the misfire the white smoke started pouring from under the hood on the belt side

 

[theboss88]

the smoke shoots out with alot of pressure
