    It's out the exhaust? I wouldn't worry about that, that's just condensation.

    Check all the hose clamps, give them a turn. Also, squeeze the hoses, there's only a few of them. If it persists rent a pressure tool from AutoZone and do a leak test. Basically you pump pressure in the system with an air pump, then look for leaks.



    My money is on a bad hose, or water pump.

    the side that took the impact has a lot of toe.
    I threaded both tie rods to 10 open threads showing. Steering wheel has to be held turned to passenger side.

    Driver side was the side that dropped

    Car suddenly started smoking white as soon as I got home at idle. Maybe it was the Carwash going in the muffler and seafoam residue as it coated my trunk and bumper with oil residue also last I ran a can in the vacuum line 2 weeks ago when and the car had sat since with only 30 miles after the seafoam. Hopefully so as I don’t want to find out I have coolant loss, going to wait for her to get cold and start, we’ll see if she smokes or hard to start as that would mean I might have cracked my block on impact.

    One side didn't have a dust cover, so I didn't install one.

    Fuck it.

    It was all back together before I realized it.
    If it fails, it fails.

    Don't. I've never liked naming cars or referring to them as a 'she', but that's just my opinion. I just call mine what they are i.e. black sedan. If I had to choose a name, Cher is perfect.
