Default barely made it home

took the car out today, everything was fine until it got up to temperature and came up to a red light and went to leave again. big continuous puff of white smoke. Worekd fine again after cool down, this only happens when i have to stop.

The temp gauge went into the red but went right back down right before i had a spot to pull over, she smoked when i pulled over.

I wouldnt mind so much if it wasent for traffic, stop signs, red lights, or left turns.

Im guessing a compression test?

Default Re: barely made it home

You definitely should not be driving it. Sounds like a blown headgasket. Definitely have it looked at. Definitely.
