If there is anti-freeze in the exhaust,It can
take quite some time for it to all burn out..
As long as it does not overheat and consume
either oil or coolant,It will most likely be OK..
It will usually take at least 30 minutes at
freeway speed to get rid of it all..

That's the fun part. Did it in an S/C Previa Van, clouded up I-5. It was sweet.

Re: (senorris08)
Coolant bubbles in the overflow tank can be a sign of compression
being pushed out through the cooling system..
It can also indicate that the radiator cap is bad and not
holding the pressure it was rated for..
