Message	sorry i know this should be in the tech forum but i ma in need of help asap. My car is smoking and i am wondering would could be the cause. My oem temp gauge says that its normal temp but exhaust is smoking. Here are the symptoms: * White or blueish smoke, cant tell but i know its not black! * i do have have small coolant leak above the driver side turbo that drip onto the turbo heatshieldafter the car is off * when i take off the radiator cap while running, it doent have any built up pressure really and there seems to be no pressure in the upper radiator tubes * seems like water is coming out the muffler tips even without climate control on. I was wondering if it could be the water pump is bad or the leak is not allowing for pressure to build up but the weird part is it does not seem to be overheating. What could it be?
