White smoke comin out the back
Hey guys I have a 5 speed 03 GT with the following mods: MAC CAI, BBK 75MM TB and Plenum, BBK U/P, MAC H-Pipe, Magnaflow exhaust. Up until this morning I had zero problems with my car. Well this mornin I'm driving and decide I wanna practice launching a few times so I went around the corner to an abandoned road.
Well I launch, I hit 2nd then, then 3rd, I got to the top of 3rd white smoke randomly starting come from like my firewall area and behind the radio and dash and stuff, also from like the shifter area. I look behind me in the rearview mirror I see a ****load of white smoke behind my car. What happened? Also I see what seems to be an fluid leak in my driveway, smells like oil to me. But it looks like the leak is coming from around the exhaust manifold or something around that area Im not too sure. The smoke only comes out when I get on the throttle, if I drive normal there is nothing.
What do guys think happened? Its never once done this before, and I didnt redline it or anything I shifted at like 5500. The car only has 48k miles on it.

Definitely more of a white colored smoke out the back. It only starts smoking at around 4k RPMs so yea lol. The temp gauge is always perfect between C and H. The oil pressure guage is like 3/4 of the way to F. Checked oil dipstick and oil is good.

Yea and its still under warranty. Watch them try to use some of my bolt-ons saying that caused the problem and not do the warranty work lol that will **** me off. I just hate bringing it to the dealership cause it takes like forever for them to fix it especially if its warranty work lol
