White SMoke - NOt from a common location, have a general idea of where it is from...

Alright... so here goes...

RUn the car for about 15 minutes, a bit hard... heavy on the pedal.

1.) Car bogs to **** and won't accel after 6k RPM - Clogged cat maybe? IT has a DP.

2.) WHite SMoke, it was coming from under the engine somewhere, at least that is where it seemed to be coming from. I had a light under the car, and a light looking down into it. I Was able to see the rotor housings, and the iron blocks, it didn't seem to be coming from there, but further back. I Didn';t have the car jacked up so I Couldn't get under it. I am not sure exactly where it was, but somewhere around the starter it looked like.

3.) WHite Smoke = COolant.... where the hell is coolant at down there?

4.) Car has a lot of oil leaking, have not pin pointed it just yet though.

Any ideas on this white smoke deal?

The turbo-coolant hoses have a reputation of leaking. Maybe that's what you're seeing.

What does the smoke smell like? Does it smell sweet (coolant)? Does it smell a little like plastic (oil)?

If it smells like plastic, then check out this thread:

The white smoke you see very well could be the oil that has leaked and is burning off your cat. I have a few oil leaks on mine and when I come to gridlock traffic, without the airflow, the oil starts burning off the cat. The smoke waffs out just behind the front tires, as well as the center.

Hrmm, very well could be. I need to get it on a lift or under it to see. ALso, the engine didn't sound normal when i was revving it, had a raspy sound to it. I think his air pump is taking a **** too.
