Coolant is flooding out of exhaust pipe
no smoke out of exhaust
Oil is clean
flow of coolant stops when radiator cap is removed

Only other item is that oil was changed 4 days prior to this
starting, and they 'topped off all fluids'

Any help is appreciated in advance!
 
hmm, radiator overflow is a little tube that drips below engine [from experience]. that doesn't sound good.
 
coolant burns and exhaust is hot, so if there's no smoke then you may not be seeing coolant? :confused:

is it flowing out or a drip?

well id take it back to the place that did this. you should not be driving this car is coolant is leaking!

i mean is it dropping on the ground?
 
coolant from exhaust is clean and green
no smoke from exhaust
no coolant in oil

question is could a gasket have blown such that coolant is blowing into exhaust manifold?
also, Shouldn't check engine be on if O2 is flooded with coolant?

yes you should have a couple of codes or some issue of performance. im thinking your CATS could be injured by having coolant pass through.

im no mechanic but ive not ever seen something like that to where the coolant just runs out green and not burn off?

car runs fine? drives normal? did you connect to the obd port to pull any DTCs?

how long have you had the car? any major mods done to it?

clearly if its a "steady stream" your coolant reservoir and radiator MUST be LOW?
 
fixed!

So mechanic pulls the intake manifold to look for cracks and gasket leak.
No cracks or gasket leaks.
The he follows the coolant lines. This model has rear heating and cooling option.
The problem turned out to be that the coolant line for the rear heater core had
rubbed a hole in the exhaust pipe and then a hole in the coolant line exactly
in line so that the coolant ran out the end of the tail pipe!
So problem was not as bad as thought but still cost $512 to repair!
Thanks to all who replied!
 
what in the wide world of sports??!?!?!?!? WOW. :confused:
