more than an exhaust leak?

well i heard a loud ticking coming from my engine so i popped the hood and could hear it was coming from the rear passenger side of the motor. i turn off the car and about 35 or 45 seconds later a puff of white smoke comes out and continues for another 30 seconds. I didn't start hearing the sound until today. yesterday i was on the highway and the car did overheat. could that have done anything. the cars an 87 iroc 305 TPI

Re: more than an exhaust leak?

Where was the smoke coming from? Check for coolant leaks. You may have a busted head gasket.
