Came from the very front of the sub-frame. It won't thread back in because the threads are all messed up at the top. the same bolt on the other side of the car is extremely loose too, not even finger tightened... I left a message for them. I don't feel safe driving the car right now so they can send someone out here to fix it. We will see what they do about whether or not they get a good or bad review at this rate. Not to mention that my hood is all fucked up from them too...

Yeah, they charged me for missing bolts too is part of the irony behind this... lol

Pretty sure they need to drop that charge at this point.

White coolant, Black Oil. Any other color besides those just mentioned would suggest a Unicorn is running rampant in your system.

You running any specific fuel?? Like E85 or race gas???

No misfire? Could also be an injector leaking. Unless it's steam coming out the exhaust in stead of smoke.

Car is running on 91 octane

No misfires except for the occasional one at idle

It'd be nice if it was just condensation but idk where it would be coming from lol

Kind of a shot in the dark but do you guys think an exhaust leak could cause the smoke? Can a gasket be "burned" by the exhaust?

Dude that is insane! That is dangerous, I cant believe they would not check those or not tighten them enough. I would have their ass, if those would have came off while you were driving and the sub frame fall (if the engine mounts broke too) you could have seriously been injured.

Paper gaskets? Did you recently do exhaust work?

Just to be on the safe side I would say pull the plugs and see if there's n e fuel, oil, or antifreeze on them. Just to rule out that u have no internal issuse causing the smoke. Also don't think an exhaust leak would cause smoke.

IIRC there was a lot of WHITE smoke on friday night at the track Jerry. I remember thinking about it, and Rhett and I thought maybe just clutch. but i guess not....Id do as said above. pull plugs check for fluids on the tip. possible even pull valve cover and check for things under there...
