Coming from under it, you mean? Go check for something leaking on that side of the block. Are your oil or coolant low?

If you just use the car for doing burnouts, it shouldn't be much of a loss.

smoke out of the a/c vent, or a fog? water leaking under? any water in pass side floor board? might be a bad heater core - sometimes makes a fog out the vents when goes bad - and heater core located in that area of firewall.

just a guess from an idiot lol

if your talking about the silver thing with a metal hose coming out of it that looks like a canister it was probably freon.
