It all started on Thursday night on my way to the club i was really pushing vtec
HARD... (btw i have ls vtec) and when i finally arrived to the club my car was smoking under the hood...my friend said it might of been coolant. I could see that bc on my way too the club my temp gauge was in the middle then it when back down to cool..what could that possibly be ? Thanx!! MOST APPRECTIATED !!

 

id say check coolant hoses, valve cover gasket etc....just look for leaks. hows the coolant level?

 

yea check ur coolant hose, I've that problem recent there there was a big hole in my hose, and white smoke come out with the distinct smell of coolant.

 

whats the smell like BTW?

Check your valvecover gasket, coolant hose, check the coolant for foam or oil. If you find foam or oil, its almost definitely your headgasket. Did you actually overheat or did your temp guage just rise a little?

 

yea i think you guys might be right it does smell like coolant..but last night when i was cleaning my TB.. i was checking to see if i had any holes in the hoses i hope my da** Fluidyne is ok cause @ first i thought it had cracked or something..
and i took off the cap and there looks like i have plenty of radiator fluid in there...
when i get off work ima check to see if i have in enough in there again..idk if i can buy another hose cause brotha kinda broke right now.

You're headgasket is probably ok if you ran it hard and it didn't overheat. It sounds like your valvecovergasket. Drive your car around a little, and then pop the hood and get a glove and run your finger around the edge of it and check for oil. Also check on the bottom side of the hood for it. If you see it around anywhere that looks like its coming from the valvecover, its probably what it is.

good luck dude
