white smoke means a coolant leak iirc

Correct.

koaaa3: Check your coolant for oil contamination, and oil for coolant contamination (will look like chocolate milk, or foamy). Also, does the exhaust smell sweet, like pancake syrup?

well on another forum disscussion i think we've cleared the possibility of a head gasket being blown cuz the coolant is fine neon green not chocolate milk yay! aha
were thinkin maybe oil cooler o-ring or a busted rear main seal because of where it is leaking from or i think it is leaking from anyways
tomorrow im gonna get under the car and try see where the oil is exactlyy
as for the exhaust i havent smelled but ill check that tomorrow too

If the smoke is coming OUT of the exhaust, it's not an oil cooler o-ring or rear main seal.
