[ohnobigtdawg]

theres white smoking coming from my exhuast manifold... doesnt smell sweet and my coolant level hasnt dropped so i dont think its coolant... any ideas? maybe gasket leak..?

You said white, but id check the turbo anyway for shaft play. Round and round...eh...okay, In and Out...bad.

What does the smoke smell like? Is the car still running good? Cracked Manifold?

How much smoke is coming out at Idle?

[ohnobigtdawg]

bout to check the manifold and turbo today..

umm.. when it idles.. it kicks up as much smoke as a lit ciggeratte.. when i rev it.. blow a little more.. but not thicker..

the car is running good still too

might be a combination of a bad gasket and some blow by. Get a new PCV valve or try cleaning yours. Its like a 19mm you can get at any autoparts store for less than ten bucks.

i would say head gasket, white smoke is almost always a head gasket, it could be that you have too much engine oil, but really dought its that.
