Default white smoke out back!!!?!!

Sitting waiting for tow.... while getting on highway white smoke out the back. Pulled over shut it off... when came to stop no weird noises from motor. Any ideas? Shop said maybe aos? Don't think ims b/c of no rattling marble in bottle sound. Will find out Monday.

Probably some little leak maybe dripping on the muffler? or AOS, probably nothing serious...where are you gonna take it? if your in Glendale you should try Don Johnson or Don Jackson enterprises, i forgot the name, lol!

Took it over to beck's in scottsdale. Sounds like it will just be the aos. May do ims upgrade as well since tranny will be dropped. Oil levels been right as of last week when I filled up gas. This cars never burnt oil.

Diagnosis- AOS. While tranny is out.... update IMS, RMS, new clutch (little life left, but not enough to not replace), flywheel(burnt and out of spec), and flux capacitor. Looking forward to seeing the difference and not having to worry about the damn IMS bearing. Hope I don't need anything for a while now.
