Coolant Leak
I just finished getting my car all back together after an overhaul, and I used the old intake manifold gasket and o-rings over again. Low and behold, I have a coolant leak that is causing a nice cloud of white smoke to start bellowing out of my exhaust pipe from the time I start the car until the time I shut it off I'm guessing it's because of the coolant o-rings in the intake manifold, as there are no bubbles coming out of the radiator while the car's running. I ordered a new gasket, as well as o-rings to attempt to fix this. I really hope it isn't a messed up water jacket seal
Can anyone confirm my suspition?

Well, the overflow is full because I filled it when I put the car back together, and haven't run the car much since, seeing as how coolant turns to sugar when it's burned. I'll install the o-rings and gasket hopefully tommorrow (if the local mazda dealer gets them in) and see if that fixes it. I'm just REALLLLLLYYY hoping that it's not internal seals, as I just finished putting the F*CK*NG thing back together!!! But yeah, I'll post tomorrow and let you guys know how she goes
