Thanks in advance - I'm sweating it out a bit. Long story short: I noticed some coolant loss (IE: A puddle of it in my driveway this morning) and smoke coming from the engine bay at a red light on a 5-minute-away drive this afternoon. I got home, sprayed out the undercarriage and let dry to get a good look. Fired it up to run warm for about 10 minutes and think I found the spot. I believe that's my crankcase...but I'm a bit of a noob and could use some guidance.
The other thing is - I am getting a TON of constant smoke from what I believe is called the Blow by tube. From what I'm reading...this looks like an excess of pressure (and...smoke...) in the case, which probably feels like a burned out piston or on these LB7's possibly a bad injector? Please see video and photos below...thanks in advance for the terrible, terrible news, haha.
In the photo it's the seal between the casing top-most portion of the photo (orientation-wise that would be the driver's side...I think. I need to get a better look tomorrow in full daylight.
