I have a 1985 honda accord with 345K miles on it. I just replaced the water pump and now whenever I start my car a puff of white smoke comes out of my tial pipe. Do you know what is going on?

Thanks

Keep tabs on the coolant level in the vehicle. If it drops as I suspect, you would obviously have a leak and it could be into the engine. Now it could be a head problem or you might have an intake manifold gasket leak. Now sure if this year vehicle has fluid run through the intake manifold and into the engine block.
