yesterday i changed out my t/b to egr spacer gasket. it didnt seal well and coolant was dripping out between the bottom of the t/b and egr spacer. and a lot of white smoke from tailpipes, then the car died and wouldnt start. so i put some rtv around gasket, as well as pulled all the spark plugs and cleaned them off. cranked the car without plugs in, and let the water out.

today the gasket isnt leaking and seems sealed and the car starts up and idles fine. but the tail pipes still let out more white smoke and leave a lot of wetness behind them. and my temp gauge kept rising as if the thermostat wasnt opening. just kept getting hotter and hotter. i checked the coolant and it was still bright green but a lil foamy at the top. also i check my dipstick and its a little milky. it all started when i changed that gasket. What is going on?

bleed the system....as for coolant, it would of just entered the intake and not mixed with oil, that is not possible from where the leak is/was made........it may take a little to get it out of exhaust pending how much was burned in exhaust

i drove it around the block and it was hotter than usual but wasnt overheating anymore. i added some coolant and now it runs good and isnt getting hot. although the tail pipes are letting out tons of white smoke, and under accelaration or revving is gets really thick. rechecked oil and its not bad at all. not sure whats happening. would it take this long to burn all of the coolant that got in the exhaust out, or do u think coolant is still entering the intake?

coolant may still be entering the intake, pull the tubing from maf to TB off and shine a light in there and see if you can see the intake coated with coolant, or it dripping, or simply cap off those coolant lines going to TB for test purposes and see if smokescreen stops
