Anti freeze coming out of my exhaust, and car starts pretty hard, what can this be?! ive tried search. but this seems more efficient to just ask. i start my car today and drive a short distance, i stop at a stop sign on the way back home and the car begins to idle pretty funny ( like i had a monster cam or something but the motors stock). i get home cut the car off and cut it back on but it struggled to cut back on, and when it does cut on a **** load of white smoke comes out my exhaust and as i cut the car back off anti freeze purs out my muffler, and out the radiator. WHAT COULD THIS BE???!!!

Blown gasket....when a cylinder is taking big gulps of coolant it BOTH blasts it out in white smoke.......but it also pushes massive amounts of air into the cooling system and will make the coolant boil over in a hurry.
SO...you better not start it anymore, you could hydralock your engine and then its all over..............
Get a coolant system pressure tester...take out all 8 spark plugs and see which cylinder, if any, fills with coolant.
Don't start it any more..............

it drained all the anti freeze, i put water/anti freeze mix and it shows faintly in the water but you can smell it in the exhaust, and its not just moisture its alot...how much does an LT1 gasket kit run? im thinking around $200

Might just be intake manifold gasket- some LT1's had this issue. Before tearing the whole thing apart and changing the head gaskets, try to pinpoint what is leaking like the other guys said. My friends '94 had the intake gasket leak on him and he fixed it in the driveway.

definitely sounds like a blown head gasket... If you just want a quick fix, you could try anything with sodium silicate to fix it. But if you don't mind tearing into the top end of the motor, or you want a GOOD permanent fix, it's best to just replace all the top end gaskets.

How do you make your own post? I have a 01 grand marquis need help diagnosing. The check engine light is on and blinks every now and again. I drove it to my sisters about 10 minutes away and when i got there i smelled burning rubber and white smoke was coming from the engine. Oil is red...radiator is a bit foggy with a white tint...not milky white...a little transluscent but still white. White smoke comes from exhaust not thick smoke though. I think coolant is leaking from exhaust pipe...clear but has a slight faint sweet smell to the liquid dripping from the exhaust. Radiator also has brown stuff in it. Shakes excessively even more so when driving and pushing on the gas pedal.
