White smoke!
 
My 13BT rx4 is letting out alot of white smoke, smells pretty bad also, I originally though it was the coolant that enters the turbo, fixed all that.. but its still smoking, so much smoke is coming out its like a bushfire!

Im thinking the water seals are stuffed, so I bought some chemiweld (chemical weld) cause its suppose to fix this problem temporarily, tried the chemiweld but its still letting out white smoke.

Also smoke is coming out from near the turbo, not exactly sure where though.

Does anyone know whats going on? I can't drive the car to a workshop cause theres way too much smoke coming out. I really need to figure out whats going on...

Here are a few pics that I took of the smoke as its coming out the exhaust.

if its smells sweet, i would agree on the coolant seals

maybe your internals are all in good shape and just a gasket kit will fix it

wwilliam54 the car runs perfectly, starts first key.. so im pretty sure the internals are ok, i checked the radiator for bubbles... nothing.. so im not sure whats going on. From what ive heard it probably is the coolant seals, but I dont want to go rebuilding my engine if thats not the case.

So does anyone have any ideas as to whats happening?

pull the plugs out and see what they look like. spin it over with the plugs out, catch the spray on ur hands, is it water or oil? u'll also be able to tell which rotor it is.
