Lately i've noticed massive amounts of white smoke come out my tailpipes when i'm sitting at lights and stuff. At the same time, i also noticed there is coolant on the ground, and I constatly have to refill the coolant in the car and keep it full.

I thought that it was coolant seals in the engine, but i didn't think it would leak on the ground like that if it was internal engine coolant seals...Maybe give me some pointers on where to look under the car where the coolant could be coming from ect...

Any insight on this PLEASE!

Dude if burnt coolant is coming from the exhaust it is internal, or leaking into the exhaust some how.

 

I'm 99.9% sure that it's your coolant seals, but if you want that extra .1% of assurance before you tear that motor apart...

Pull the radiator cap off the car, and fill up the rad. start the car and idle it. If coolant comes and bubbles up out of the thing, then your motor's toast

good luck,

Yeah, you are burning coolant. The water seal is broken and coolant is getting into the rotor. The more you drive like this, the more expensive it will be to rebuild the motor because it starts damaging the plates and housings, leaving you with less salvageable stuff and more that has to be replaced.
Do like manolis said. Look in the radiator, or the overflow bottle and see if it is bubbling. The bubbles come from the rotors compression pressurizing the coolant system. Don't open the radiator cap if it is hot or under pressure, you could get burnt.

 

Thanks for the info guys, i knew it was coolant seals for sure almost, just thought I'd see what yall had to say, Thanks.
