So I recently posted about having white smoke out my exhaust and i thought I should share a little backstory.
Btw the Car kn question is a 2008 Speed 3 with 88k miles.
Resonators delete and a stage 1+ Cobb ots
So roughly a week ago it was raining pretty heavily here in Arizona, so I decided to go for a drive since it never rains. I get back and notice that my car is basically a fog machine, white smoke out the exhaust like a steam train.
I asked around a few people said I should change my oil so I did since it was close to 3K miles so I figured why not? So after the oil change is done, the car stops smoking, runs normal.
Then the next day, Thursday to be exact, it starts smoking again, same way it did on Sunday. So I start to assume it is the turbo, (it’s an 08 with 88k miles), the seals, something along those lines but, correct me if I’m wrong, wouldn’t that only be smoking upon spool? So I go to check oil. I did my research and, this is my first time changing the oil on tbis car so I put about 5 quarts in, way too much, I know! So I drained some out, got it down to a good level, and called it good. Shouldn’t follow google anymore.
Anywho, it’s still smoking so I then assume Maybe a head gasket, checked all the spark plugs and they’re fine. And then I go and check my coolant and there seemed to be a leak (major it seemed) with coolant cause it was all over my underskirt and the Reservoir. The coolant was pretty much empty and smelled like fish, it’s Arizona so we don’t use antifreeze here so I think the coolant is extremely old and needs to be flushed but there was little to none left. However the car ran at normal operating temp.
At this point I’m so lost and I’m taking it to the dealer on Tuesday to see if they know, because I’ve given up. Just thought I’d ask anyone here too. Both videos attached are from different days.
