odd blow off noise and cloud

So i was driving my car around back from the mall its like a 15 mins trip. i turned it off for like 45 mins and started it again. It was about 85-90 ourside. When i started it i here this PSHHHHHHH sounds just like a NO2 purge and then a white cloud comes out from under the car. The cloud does not smell like any thing and is just white. It comes from i think under the right front part of the car. I think it may be r34 the stuff for ac. But i had one of thoes blow up at me at work and it was a yellow cloud. if some one could tell me what this is or have another guess at it that would be great.

Does the A/C work now? Could it have been water draining from the A/C and hitting the exhaust?

Did you radiator cap blow? Check it out make sure that there is pressure on it. You might need a new cap.

You may not want to hear this and I hope its not what I think it is.



Sounds alot like a head gasket thats leaking. Does the white smoke go away after a few minutes of driving?

I had this problem a few years ago.


Let us know what you find out.
