If it's not one thing... It's another.. After fixing all the little pain in the ass issues with my '93 GT, i've discovered yet another problem!

At high RPMs at around 5000rpm and under boost (Vortech SQ-Trim), smoke blows through the vents! It does not smell like oil, nor does it smell like coolant- at least i hope so. The coolant looks fine, no signs of engine oil. Idle and behavior of the engine does not suggest a blown gasket.

The smoke blowing through the vents has a chemical smell. It smell crazy glue or something like that, to me.

I checked all the hoses and found no leaks. This only happens when engine RPM is very high at around 5000rpm and under boost. The amount of smoke is not consistent- sometimes a lot smoke blows in at me, sometimes a little, sometimes none.

What could this be?
