Smoke coming from Headlights...

[InZane4all]

About a few days ago, I noticed that smoke began to creep up under the hood. I figured it might be my coolant, so I went on and changed it. Sure enough, my coolant looked like garbage water; dark grey. :D

So I thought that might have fixed the problem, but sure enough, smoke began to creep up from the front of my Camaro, through the headlights. wtf?
:mad:

I searched and only saw a few posts regarding smoke under the hood. Could it be my PCV Valve?
Bad Oil Filter? Or does it take a while for the coolant to take effect on the car?

I also noticed oil on some parts of the engine bay, so I assume I may have a leak somewhere. Oil pressure sensor went bad? Any help would be appreaciated.

Car is a 94 3.4L Camaro

You saw some steam come up and out and all you did was change the coolant?? How does that solve the leak issue?
Do you smell coolant? It's easier to tell where it's coming from if the temperature is cooler so the steam would be more obvious. So if it's warm, wait til night time and shine a flashlight to see where the steam is coming from. Check the ground, any drips? Check and squeeze the hoses, still good and not bloated looking? wear some eye protection.

If you see smoke coming up and not steam then your oil is leaking onto a hot surface and cooking the oil. Maybe your rear main is leaking onto your exhaust. But it has nothing to do with an oil filter or a sensor.
