umm, lots of smoke..

ya, well went to start my car to go get some breakfast and was greated with a insane amount of white smoke.. i mean more then i thought the car could push exhaust out at idle. it was a complete solar eclipse in like a matter of 15 sec's
smells like burnt coolant, my best guess would be a worn coolant seal in the rotor chamber.. just lookin for where to find the the cheapest rebuild kit. any info is greatly appreciated, ill post pics soon as i get a chance..
thx alot.

The only problems I have with the block weld is that 1. it's a temp fix, yes if it works it does really narrow down the problem and 2) it just mucks your engine and radiator, if it gets blown out into the engine bay it's a mess. If it looks like a duck (coolant leak) and sounds like a duck, it probably is a duck. It'll require a rebuild. I suggest the Atkins Rotary rebuild kit ($1200.00).
