White Smoke?!?!
So when I stomp on it, it get *** load of smoke from the rear of the car. I had a buddy do it today and doesn't seem it's coming from exhaust but from under the car....anyone have this issue? I am thinking it might be my rear brakes?

I would think white smoke is coolant related. Head gaskets? Valves?

Your brakes wouldn't be smoking white under acceleration.

I thought same also but smoke wasn't coming from exhaust. If it was gaskets or valves, would be from exhaust, no?

Oil leak on exhaust or if you have a trunk tank or water line leaking on hot pipes, may look white. Drinking to much can do same thing j/k

LOL! I do drink a lot but not white smoke level! This has been doing this for few months now, oil would have already disappeared by now. Might throw it on the dyno and see?

When I did the transmission service I got an OEM filter, but for some reason the gasket was about 1/32" too thin to seal properly. The next day on my way home I "heated up the exhaust", and got so much blue/white smoke I thought I blew a piston. Turned out to be tranny oil on the resonator.

do you have a rear main seal leak? maybe the stomping of gas, pushing more oil out of the seal and getting on your exhaust to create white smoke.

This sounds like the culprit.

If it's been doing it for months and you haven't had the coolant or oil level sensor go off I'd definitely check the tranny fluid. Not sure if it has a sensor as well. But check all fluid levels. Get under the car and look for wet fluid.

I just got the rear main seal fixed. When it was leaking, it never did this.

I do remember my e-brake was stuck in winter time and still thinking it might be "engaged" a bit to draw the smoke.
