Help me please?
 

Ok, i have a '90 LX 5.0. I had an oil leak from the valve cover gaskets. I changed the gaskets last nite, along with the throttle body gasket which was trashed and allowing a small amount of coolant out. Now I start the car and I get white smoke from the exhaust and smoke under the hood and still a little bit of a coolant leak. What the hell is going on? Someone please help me. I dont even want to own this car anymore and all I ever wanted was a Mustang.

When you replaced your old gasket with the new,were you careful lining the new gasket up?Sounds like you possibly got the gasket in crooked.


The smoke from under the hood is coming from the anti-freeze leak and the smoke from the exhaust is most likely from gettin some antifreeze into your intake,that will burn off.

Ive checked for alignment and gasket fit several times and I give up! I gave in and took the car to my trusted Ford dealer, Friendly Ford in Roselle, IL. My buddies there will take care of it. Thanks for the help.
