Lots of white smoke at start-up. Engine bad?
Me and my buddy were looking at a FC. He started it up while I watched the back. There was a lot of white smoke. A LOT. We drove it and the left silencer/exhaust was leaking. We couldn't get it over 3PSI.
Is the white smoke an indication of a bad engine?
Is the low boost a result of a bad exhaust?

This can happen as well, it'll let the seal slip out of place and let coolant in.
But it does seem that your getting coolant seeping into the combustion area after you cut the car off (system is still pressurized).

If the coolant seals are bad, should there be white smoke the entire time or just at the startup?
