I was on the highway on my way home from the store and there was traffic so I was going about 60. It has been 100 here for the past few days so I had the air on 3 circulating. About 5 mins from my exit my check engine light comes on. I was thinking oh great what now. I pulled in my driveway about 10 mins later and shut the car off. It smealt real bad like something was burning and when I looked closely there was white smoke coming out of the hood scoop. I popped the hood and it was like that part in the first fast and furious. A huge cloud of smoke came out. The smoke appeard to be coming from the bottom side of the engine near the rear. It has never done this before. The temp gauge in the car was reading normal. There wasnt any oily residue anywhere on the car. The middle of the crossmember and where the header pipe comes together are coverved with oil but the pan plug isnt leaking at all. Coolant and oil levels are perfect. Any thoughts? The car is fairly new. Its a 99 rs with 65k miles.
Headgasket issues are pretty common with early rs's.. white smoke usually indicates coolant but without being there, I can't really diagnose the problem
climb underneat the car and look where the head(s) mates to the block, its probably pissing coolent from there
