White smoke

s13 KA-E

white smoke came out of my engine now.

give me a clue.

i went outside to start my car to warm it up since its cold outside. winter sucks. came back in a few minutes then i turned my car off. all of a sudden i heard a pop. white smoke came out like crazy.

i check my radiator and and there goes all of my fluid. still smoking a little.
i can hear the fluid dripping in the back of the motor somewhere.

can it be that i blew my water pump, radiator hoses cause of water froze in there. i thought that i had radiator fluid in there and i check there was when i bought it.

i cant seem to start the car now.

well u might have wanted to change ur fuilds when u bought it...might have been watered down anti freeze...

did u exaust smell sweet...cuz if that the case it means ur leaking coolant intour engine...which usually in KA's is because the chain bores a hole into the block where there is a is an oil feed and boom mixes...check ur oil...is it creamy...like light brown...if so then theres ur answer...

if the water in ur system did freeze, and u herd a pop, then id say it might have been ur water pump snaping inside...might wanna take it off...only way ull know for sure

damn i heard a pop. yea i think it was water down anitfreeze. no my exhuast did not smell sweet. only the motor smells sweet. i check my oil and there was no water or anything in there.

i dont think my water pump blew cause i didnt hear anything moving by the water pump. might it be my hoses.

Could be headgasket? I never heard mine pop though makes sence why your smelling coolent on the engine though and not seeing much of it. Check around where the head bolts down see if its got water dripping out somwhere.


Oil will only turn milky after you drive with it like that for a while water and oil should stay sepperated if it happend all of the sudden and he shut the car off.

no its no head gasket i checked the oil already. the exhaust fumes had a gassy smell not a sweet smell.
