Coolant system pipe

Your pipe is rusted inside out if you flush the cooling system it will get wors I recommend replacing the pipe.

white smoke indicates[ steam ] that your burning coolant either by a blown headgasket ---intake gasket--cracked/warped head--cracked cylinder wall--check your coolant level should by low ----------clutch dont know type yr or model of vehicle so dont know if your clutch is hydraulic or dry older style spring --hydro style anything from slave gone bad to fork damage ---old style broken spring to fork damage throw out bearing damaged

Should not hurt anything,means the air injection system isn't working.
emission code,a pump adds air to the exhaust on cold start,no biggie
Most likely a vacuum hose ,check by the brake booster,listen for
a hissing sound.May have to pull the plastic engine cover to aid
your hunt for a broken hose.

If you are not seeing a coolant leak on the ground, and you are adding coolant every week, chances are the engine is burning it out the tailpipe. That would be from a leaking head gasket or other internal problem with the engine.

Possible fluorescent dye injected into the coolant, engine oil or a/c system to trace a leak.

or....... antifreeze.

Dab a little on your tongue , if it tastes sweet it is antifreeze..(.a little drop on your tongue wont hurt you.)

If so..possible coolant pump leak.

try filling fluid to top then put thermostat with it touching fluid

If the water pump is driven by the timing belt replace it and anything else that is driven by the timing belt(idlers and tensioner) , Also replace the camshaft and crankshaft oil seals while your there.
Never hurts to flush the cooling system and add fresh coolant/anti-freeze.
Hope this helps

It sounds like a leak in the water jacket of your motor, it could be just a head gasket if you're lucky. Also check for a leak in the coolant pipes them selves usualy at the connections.

She didnt put washer fluid in did she? What will happen when car warms up and coolant expands in tank it will push some out will not hurt anything though if put washer fluid in will need to flush coolant system. if you havent run yet just drain coolant resevoir and refill
