i own a 89 5.0 mass aired mustang. iv had a vac leak from the manifold for a week. i just resealed in completely, and for the first time white smoke is coming out of my exhausts. i checked my oil prior to seeing the smoke, and it was golden brown....good. can some one please give me some things to look for. i cant think of any obvoius reasons why this would be happeneing.

When you say you "resealed it" can you be totally descriptive of exactly what you did

i removed all the electronics and vac lines connected to upper intake. disconnected the rubber tube from the mass air sensor to intake. unbolted intake , picked it up, used a brand new razor. removed old gasket. put locktite 51813 an anarobic gasket maker/ sealer on both the upper intake ports and the lower manifold ports. i seated the felpro gasket down. and did the reverse of removal. it aslo fixed the vac leak and the car is perfect, other than the fact it has white smoke coming out.

White smoke is an idicator of coolant in the combustion chamber. The first thing I would do is make sure I didnt hook the EGR coolant line up to a Vac port. It happens

ill definitly check that out, its probably what is wrong, and leave it to me to make a stupid move like that lol. thanks bro

if you did that there would be clouds of smoke and a huge loss of coolant

drocirishmafia

it wasnt that. and hasnt done it again yet, atmospheric?

mjr46

just keep driving it and monitor all fluid levels

condensation? did you clean with any kind of spray? carb cleaner,brake cleaner.?etc.did it only do it on start up or after it warmed up?

drocirishmafia

no cleaners, and it seems to only do it when its warmed up
