I have a 91' 305 v8 firebird, and when i rev it it smokes like a motha ****a, then the exaust starts leaking water (the smoke is white)... but im not losing engine coolant or oil, the car has been sitting for about 3 months in my driveway, i searched this quick and didnt find a good awnser, any 1 got any ideas on how to fix it?
also the higher i rev it, the more smoke comes out.

Have you undone the radiator cap to see if its lost any?
Just looking at the expansion bottle is'nt always enough.
As it loses water, it can often pump a load of air into the system via the cylinders, giving the appearance of no-loss.

yeah i checked under the radiator cap, thats how i was able to tell if it was losing any liquids

How does it smell? Water vapor is a normal combustion byproduct.
I just smelt like normal exaust. =/ it stoped smoking, then i took it down the road, and it started again, not as bad as before tho.

sounds like a blown head gasket or cracked head. Have you checked for water/antifreeze in the oil. I had the same problem in my GMC, but the only way I found the water in the oil was by removing the oil filler cap and looking underneath and finding a white milky substance. Blown head gasket, was my diagnosis. Hope this helps.
thanks for the help every one
