RE: [DML] Did my engine blow up? Fire/smoke?!

["Nick Kemp" <nkemp@xxxxxxxx>]

Let's be optimistic that it was a coolant leak that caused the problem.
White smoke without a lot of smell tends towards coolant.  Dark stinky smoke
tends towards oil.

Hoping for the best for you,

Nick

  I recentley bought a 1981 Dmc with 15k miles on it. The car is not in
  the best of shape to say the least. Anyway I drove it over the
  holidays with not too much trouble and put 1k miles on it.
