Hi everyone


I flushed my coolant system today....drain / flush / added leak stop solution / filled it up.

I saw some water droplette and smoke with sweet odor initially but it is gone.

Normal or is it serious?

THanks

by the way...it's an 88 hatch with 140000 on it

probobly normal I dont' really understand your question was it out of the exhaust..?

and yes sweet = coolant burning possibly spilt some on engine etc and it burned off if it went away you are fine

yes it is out from the exhaust.....but it is gone now. I hope it is not a big problem.

I was worry about my gaskets......Hope this car can last about about 2 - 3 years for me.

white smoke should not be coming from the exhaust...why did u add a leak stop additive?

imported_Nate9

I thought that it's an old car and wouldn't hurt to add some....but now there is no more white smoke.... still a concern?

Cynikal.Mindset

well as long as its gone I wouldnt worry about it...but if it comes back then u might have something to worry about.

that is not normal.. how long was it burning coolant for?

And I wouldn't of used stop leak.. honda specifically states not to use any addictives into your fluids. I'm not sure if that only applies to trannys and crankcase though.

The amount of white smoke is very minimal but it was there for ~ 2 minutes after the flush....with some sweet odor. but it is completely gone now....and it has never happened before.
