COOLANT Burning...or not?

Ok my high rpm smoke has turned from blue to whitey/grey.....primarily white, coolant right? But only at high rpm's...wierd, is there some kind of seal i can replace without tearing the block apart to stop the white smoke? Like some kind if external coolant o rings? I am just curious..thanks
It only does it on high rpm decel that's it....any ideas?

Nope, all the seals are internal.

When you are under High RPM and Decelerating.... Your vaccume is High,,,,, the pressure inside the housings is less than the pressure of the water system,,,,the water then infiltrates in from the cracked coolant seals and is being vaporized in the hot combustion chamber.... The reason that you don't see it under throttle is that the Rotor housings are under higher pressure than the water system... and housing air is most likely being forced into the water system. You are propably running just a little hotter than normal too, right??? It WILL ONLY GET WORSE!!!!!
