Cool Need some help again, exhaust smoke

Thanks everyone for the help on the drain bolt. Got that done and taken care of. Though I am wondering whats up with all the white smoke coming out of my exhaust. I washed the car the other day and accidently sprayed the hose into the exhaust and was wondering if this could be the cause of the white smoke coming out. Also, I do notice a clear liquid (probably the water) barely coming out of the exhaust. Anyone have an idea or know of any concerns I should take please let me know. Thanks

Not sure really. It has not really a sweet smell but it does burn my eyes when I put my head down there.

Either you sprayed a lot of water in the exhaust, or you could have coolant seal failure which would require a rebuild. I would let the car run and see if it clears up, however monitor the coolant temps to make sure you dont over heat the car.

If this just started after you shot water into the exhaust, it's most likely still burning off the moisture in the exhaust track. Just take the car out on the highway for a 20-30 minute cruise and it should burn it all out.

Could putting the car on jack stands and tilting the car back a bit to drain the water out of there and see if thats the problem?
