Bad coolant seals? Videos inside...
*sigh* I never seen to catch a break with cars these days... Got my FC running, driving, and legal only to start seeing white smoke and bubbles in the coolant. Can you guys confirm what I'm sure I already know?

Get yourself down to Autozone, or any other retailer that loans tools, and rent this:
OEM/Block Tester 27145 at AutoZone.com
You will need to purchase the testing fluid as well. This is a pretty definitive test, it tests your coolant for combustion gasses. It will tell you 100% if you have a combustion chamber -> coolant leak. You get a full refund for the tester when you return it.

Thanks for the responses everybody appreciate it really. Since originally creating this thread there has not been any more smoke from the exhaust. I've not lost any coolant either, and my oil which I check constantly is still clean. My guess is I still had some air in my coolant system, and the smoke out of the exhaust was condensation, it was a pretty humid day when I took the videos. I'm an extreme worry wart because I don't know how rotary engines behave, I don't fully understand them yet or their quarks. So when something little happens I freak thinking the very worst.
