(Another) White Smoke from the Exhaust Incident

[dennizxxx]

Hey Everyone,

I did a quick search on this topic before posting, didn't find an exact match, so here goes..

I am in Boston, the weather has turned cold in the last 2-3 days or so, with constant rain this whole weekend.....

This morning, I start my car to go to work and there is a thick cloud of white smoke emitting from the exhaust, ON TOP OF THAT, the brakes feel very heavy, about 2-3 times heavier than normal...when I turn off the engine there is also, what is best described as a soft "groaning" noise.......

Oh yeah, I have a 99, 31K miles, and last drove the car about 2 days ago whithout any problems.

What's anyone's take?



thanks
