Could i have a leaking intake? Or head gasket leaking?

[turbo1962]

When car sits for a few days, when you start it. smokes white smoke and has strong antifreeze smell for about the first 5 min. No water in the oil. But i am losing coolant. it has the RJC glue on headgaskets. Thanks

leak

First thing I would do in that situation would be pull the plugs look and if see if one looks different then the rest (like it's brand new real white) while i had the plugs out I'd turn the motor over a few revolutions with the key see if any antifreeze blows out the spark plug hole. if it's smoking out the exhaust it's going into one of the cylinders and being burnt. then maybe a compression test if necessary.I live about 35 miles if you need some help.

pressure test the cooling system. sounds like could be cracked head.

Could be a leaking head stud or head bolt.

I will check the things that were mentioned, and see what i find.i was hoping that it would be a easy fix. Thanks for the offer Hiboom.

It was a head stud leaking....

How did you diagnose the leaking stud? I'm not doubting just curious.
