Help It's Smoking!!
Oh god what did I do!!
Yesterday I did an oil change on my new TA. Went with 5w30 Mobil 1 and an AC Delco filter.
I also have a can of seafoam in the gas tank only.
So today I go out and get all the stuff I need to do a coolant flush and change the M6 Fluid.
I also removed the battery and dumped out the overflow tank.
As I restart the car to run the flush through, I notice this!!!!

What the hell is going on and is my engine going to blow up or catch on fire?

I have started the car twice now to finish the coolant flush and both times this did not reoccur. I think it may have been the Seafoam finding a way out and an exhaust leak sounds plausible. I'll keep an eye on it and see if it comes back again. Scared the crap out of me though!!

Nope, used a funnel to put the oil in. It was smoking the entire time the engine was running. Once I stopped it, the smoke quickly stopped. Within 10 seconds or so. I drove it to work today, didn't see any problems.
