it tastes spicey too

Somewhere...... off in the distance...... as the sun sets tranquilly over a soft field of wheat.... I can hear "Taps", playing, softly, for your coolant seals...

Your brake master cylinder may be bad... but if the smokes comming OUT from INSIDE of your tailpipes... its NOT brake fliud....

I'm getting there damn it. Mazdatrix's solid front diff. mount should be in anyday now and I'll have it all taken care of at the same time. Thanks for the advice and concern from all!

Okay so got the front differential mount replaced with a compititionmount from mazdatrix and it drives so wonderfully smooth lol. And had the brake booster and master cylinder replaced witha used one(I know I know) and its stopped smoking and stopped the weird pulsating RPM/brake pedal dealie so, alls well for now. I just really hope none of the seal were damaged. Thanks everyone!
