Is it white smoke coming out of the tailpipes? If so, there is a strong possibility that you may have a blown head gasket. Check the condition of your oil. If it is "milky" then coolant is mixing in with the oil. Another thing you can check is on a cold engine, take off the radiator cap and start the car. If you see bubbles then it's another sign of a blown head gasket.
If you are loosing coolant and it's coming out the tailpipes, you more than likely have a blown head gasket. Symptoms are milky oil or oil in your coolant reservoir. But you may or may not have both. You could also do a compression test to see if you have a cylinder that's low.
Yes white smoke that comes out my pipes and it smells sweet and my oil is in perfect condition its not milky and i did start the car cold and i didnt see no bubbles and how can i do that compression test ? Or where can i get it done at and the car funs perfectly fine i changed the manifold intake thinking it would solve since it was having a leak but still the same thing
You can buy a compression tester at any auto parts store and its real easy just unplug the injectors and coils then remove a spark plugs and install then turn the motor over a few times without starting and check the gauge on the compression tester
It is possible to have a bad head gasket and not have coolant mix with oil but its pretty uncommon for that to happen but another thought is that it could be a cracked head
