				Coolant issue? Internal leak?
			 
 
			Had the car in the shop not too long ago for IMS/RMS and a few other things.  Not sure if that is related or not.  
 Over spring break I got a P0300 and P0304 code (misfire on cyc 4).  Found a few drops of oil under the car while changing the brakes.  CEL turned off next time I started the car.  I was planning on asking shop to scan at the next oil change.  Again, not sure if it's related.
 
 Late last week got a red low coolant warning in the morning.  Topped up with a little under 1/2 gal of distilled water.  Yesterday I was checking the level after work and think I didn't get the cap on tight.  Drove about 35 miles at 80+ on the toll road - no lights or warnings.  Just as I pulled into the driveway the red coolant warning came on again and the car barfed on the driveway.  Cap was loose as I said.
 
 Let it cool down and topped up with distilled water and drove about 5 miles and got a red low oil pressure warning just as I pulled in the parking lot.  Had the boys bring me some oil and distilled water.  After sitting about 3 hours, the oil level was fine but the coolant was low again.  Topped up again and had my son follow me home.  He says white smoke appeared when I started the car.  Got a CEL and a yellow "drive to workshop" warning on the drive home.
 
 Haven't seen any water under the car (except when it puked on the driveway).  Makes me wonder if I have an internal leak (especially with the white puff of smoke).
 
 Shop says I need a pressure test on the cooling system.  Hoping it's not an oil to coolant leak.  Thoughts / suggestions?
