Yeah, i mean it's hard to tell what it is, because when you say I GOT IT, you remember he doesn't smell anything. Most smoke would have a smell, but pure water.... like condensation. Do you have an A/C unit??? now im just blowing in the wind.... you know what, nevermind

I can't help it Soaring, blame it on my age and the need for speed

And ya, this is only a recent problem, as I've been able to push my car up to 90mph before. And I regularly drive 70-80mph on the freeway.
Yeah, I understand. I drive around the 80 MPH mark on the freeway too. I'll be damned if I can tell you what the problem is.

Is the cap of your overflow tank still on? If not, its still possible for the water to get sucked out at a particular speed. Thats why its not rpm related, just a gues but I bet its something along those lines.

The overflow tank doesn't come into play until the engine is turned off and cools down. He may or may not even have an overflow tank. Besides, the overflow tank cap has no pressure applied to it.

overflow tank? pfft, who needs an overflow tank

perhaps this might be linked to my C4's sudden slippage in drive. I swear it happened like 15 times today... can't wait for my T-56 and new crate engine

something slipping can cause smoke, but again, it should stink like the dickens.
