i need help! my baby'z sick :(
 

hey guys, im sad cuz sumthing happend 2 my 89 supra. I needed new brakes so we lifted the car and changed them (all four, front and rear). afterwards my friend told me to turn it on, on the air to see how they sounded, so i did and then he just starts screaming "turn it off!" and when i looked back there was a huge cloud of thick white smoke coming out of my exhaust so i popped my hood and check the oil but there was no water in it. then i looked around and noticed that my brake oil and power steering oil overflowed and was all over, and my the part where my headers and that "catalytic converter look alike" thats viewable before the catalytic converter, was also wet. please tell me i didnt mess it up! thanks guys.

Try to be a lot more clear about just what you are describing;

"afterwards my friend told me to turn it on, on the air to see how they sounded"

Don't understand that one.

Also: "then i looked around and noticed that my brake oil and power steering oil overflowed and was all over"........................?

They both use different types of "fluids". The power steering reservoir is on the exhaust side so I can see how it might overflow and spill on the exhaust. And when redoing the brakes, the brake reservoir fills back up when you compress the calipers, but don't know why it would get on the exhaust.

Best guess, brake booster somehow got brake fluid inside and when the engine was started it sucked the fluid into the intake and burned out as white smoke, but as far as why the wetness on the exhaust, no ideas.

hey guyz i just noticed sumthing else, i forgot to add that my reverse light on the dash stays on and my car is not on reverse. so i put it in reverse and the rear lights go on perfectly. so i decided to turn it on again and i noticed that when i turn it on without releasing the clutch (in neutral) the car wont throw out smoke until i press on the brakes and release the clutch, and then the reverse light goes on and smoke starts firing out of the exhaust.

what happens when you don't touch brakes and clutch?
does it idle ok, no smoke?

i happend to turn it on today 2 see if it had "magically" cured its self and i did not touch the brake or the clutch and it was idling ok without throwing out any smoke and then after about somewhere close to a minute it started letting out the smoke again but and stayed idleing at about 1200-1300. please tell me u have a solution or an answer thanxz. oh yeah and i actually noticed that its my reverse light that stays on and not the brake light, and my low battery light stays on too, both of them are on while the car is on.
