Default What could it be????

Alright i notice that im loosing coolant little by little. All this happened after my ms4 cam install. Before no smoke what so ever when i had the x-1. SO what could it be? I repalced the Head gaskets already thinking it was that but nope still smokes. SO WTF? my tuner says the car is running strong and i did a compression test everything was perfect. Also it doesnt smoke on start up its starts smoking when i come to a stop when the car is at 200 temp. I wanna see if i could figure it out now since im switching to new headers. Also changed the oil was perfect not milky. Can someone help me please!!!! Boardwars is coming up soon and i wanna compete this year.

thanks- Mike

Is the smoke coming from the tail pipes, or just from under the hood somewhere? Sounds like you might have an external coolant leak somewhere.

you need to be a little more descriptive. The Y pipe is smoking, like something is buring on the outside of it? or are you running just an open Y pipe and the smoke is coming out with the exhaust???

Like the white smoke it coming out of the y pipe. I got a dynomax bullet on the end with a turn down and it's coming out of there.
