Head/Head Gasket problem
the way the weather's been lately it's prolly just condensation, mine dropped
a couple drops out of each tailpipe and smoked a little from the water heating up
if it was a blown head gasket I doubt the coolant would get all the way to
the tailpipes before you hydrolocked the motor
your car could just be boiling over, I'd do a coolant flush to make sure
nothing is clogging your passages and run the car while you watch all the
coolant lines.

Eh, maybe not the head gasket. The smoke was probably just condensation, and I'm still not sure what it could be. Also having problems starting, and I really doubt its the starter as thats only a few months old - maybe a little liquid in the cylinders or something? As to a crack, it might be, but it never drips, theres NEVER a puddle under the car running or not, and it drops a shitload of water every day. Anyways, I put some stuff in the coolant that'll seal up most kinds of small cracks as a temporary fix until I can give it a good look-over Friday. As to flushing the coolant, yeah, we'll be doing that Friday I'm sure. The pressure in the coolant line seems fine, so not sure about a clog, but we'll see. As to steaming it out...its possible, I mean I smell the coolant, but wouldn't it drip out anyways?
I hate this car. Save me, oh blue oval.

Eh, it didn't start happening until right before the radiator started draining. Could be that, but I can turn the car off and listen to the system for a bit and then turn it back on with no problem. I dunno, this problem is just really pissing me off, I'll be happy to finally tear into it Friday.
