i remember smoke coming out of my hood scoop long time ago. lots of it. turns out the oil feed line to the turbo had a hairline crack and was dripping onto the downpipe. findlay subaru warrantee'd it even with all my mods.

 

your car is gonna explode......

 

got it figured out guys no worries

 

???????????????????????????????????????????
Then what is it

 

It sounds like it was running too rich for some reason and it was damaging the cats and that is why the check engine light was flashing. most of the time that the check engine light flashes is to warn that the cats are in danger of getting damaged.

 

i still think he just popped an IC hose.

 

i blew a head gasket.. sucks but i'm gonna get it hashed out

 

damn bro, hope everything goes well for you. You should check your whole cooling system to make sure it was not due to overheating.

 

how'd you blow a head gasket and how'd you come to the conclusion that the head gasket was blown? do you have pictures of this... i'd really like to see it?

what type of car is this?
