  • white smoke

    I have a 2000 camaro rs, and lets say i did a couple donuts and maybe a burnout or two, and after this, i pop my hood and find white smoke coming from the right side of the engine, down near the headers, and the whole engine looks like someone just took a hose to it. im thinking a seal busted and sprayed power steering everywhere, but honestly i have no clue. help.

    Start with:

    Check power steering and all other fluid levels.

    Run the engine and get in there to see where the leak is comming from. Get someone to turn the steering while looking for leaks.

    If your spraying that much fluid it shouldn't be too hard to find!!

      Ive done all that, and every few days i need to add fluid. the steering gets really tough when im not moving, sometimes it works fine, but sometimes i can barely turn the wheel. as for finding the leak, i honestly dont know, there isnt really a single point of origin that i can find, its like its coming from everywhere, i think the best thing is to just take it into the shop, id like to try and fix it on my own, but that might not be possible
