Hey, I have a problem but i think I may have just answered my own question... ha....
my car runs like a champ, but today i got home from school and this white smoke starts billowing out from under the hood. I heard some sizzling and popped it to see a cloud of smoke. Now, it looked like there was some fluids around there that leaked out (which is the conclusion i just now came to, it looked like coolant). I haven't had any problem associated with it, just the smoke. It is on the left side of the engine, a little bit below it. Are there any coolant lines (or any kind of other fluid) running around there that may have sprung a leak? Anyone else had this happen???
Thanks!

i am experiencing the same problem as you. the coolant leak that i have is coming from the LIM where there are two orings. when i was reassembling the LIM and turbo i completely forgot about the orings and before i knew it my engine was smoking. to be honest it scared the **** outta me. anyways, im not sure if other models use the two orings but i know TII do. as of now i am removing the turbo and LIM as well as the UIM just to put those damn orings in. hope this kinda helps.

Under oil filter, drivers side heatercore hose. Replace it. It's a prebent factory hose, but you might be able to find it at a chain store. OR use a longer piece of regular straight heater hose, and make loops to avoid kinks at the tight bends.
