hey I'm trying to take out my exhaust but I can't get the damn 3 last bolts off. 
I'm gonna take it to a shop so that they can take them out for me then put them back in softer.
I only had one bolt on the intake manifold, and when I started the car there was white smoke everywhere!
I think it was coolant.
I'm scared!!

I have an 89 GXL.
I only had one bolt cause I was lazy to put the other back on.
I just needed to drive it to the shop so I only put one back. Then white smoke everywhere!!
No smoke now though.
Let's hope it won't come back.
thanks
