Default Smoke coming from back of engine.

Haven't had a chance to jack the car up and see.

Picked up a a 1993 Civic Si from a guy in Michigan. Has 200k on the odometer. Drove 2 hours from the guy's place to the 1st rest stop and had smoke billowing out of the engine bay.

Called the guy up and of course he said he didn't know anything about it. Said might have been from degreasing the engine and power washing it.

2nd rest stop (about 3 hours from my 1st stop) still smoke billowing out. Smoke is sweet smelling and white.

Get it home and it's not smoking as much. Still a lingering smell. I'm thinking it's coolant. Few drops on the garage tonight (3 days later).

You guys have any idea?
