So i was about to drive my h22 lude today and when i turned the car on it idled at about 200 rpm and wouldn't go up anymore from that. When i stepped on the accelerator wouldn't fully respond(not enough to make it go past a 500rpm) so i shut it off and try again. this time car works fine. drive for about 2 miles and then my CEL comes on and car starts to bog badly. Finally i pulled into a gas station. white smoke comes out for about 10 seconds. i was leaking antifreeze under the car, Oil is fine and i just changed the water pump timing belt. i was able to drive it home fine(1mile away at that point) What do you think it could be. None of the hoses where leaking and the thermostat was changed last year.
thanks for the help.

its not throwing the code until the engine starts to go. and i'd rather not get it to that point again just to pull the code.

Pull the code anyway. It's stored in memory.

i just had my water pump and timing belt done too and i got a leak like that the next day and it was a heater hose by the fire wall and it had a little hole about the size as a pin but was squirting on my exhaust so the hose didnt look wet so check them good. and some times if you squeeze the radiator hose you might be able to hear the leak if its really quite
