Default Smokin????

everytime i really get on it i start smokin....none of the hoses are leaking in the front of the motor. because it looks like its coming from the middle or back? could it be the intake, i just put the upper plenum on and didnt torque it could that be a problem?I can smell antifreeze tho....

it should be torqued but as long as its tight i dont see why it would be a problem, did you use new gaskets? also what color is the smoke?

Has your car overheated yet? And does it smell sweet?

small crack or pinhole in the EGR heater line. check the heater line that is connected on the left side of the thottle body spacer. it runs down to the lower intake right next to the valve cover. i'll bet money on it.
