Ok, I need you guys' help because this is beyond my expertise.

I changed the oil in my 3vze on Sunday. I drove to work yesterday, no problem.

On the way to work today, the Check Engine light comes on. By the time I got it home (30 miles) I could smell burning. When I shut it down (not before, only after) it billowed white smoke from the tail pipe. The fluid coming out is very light brown and slick. The smoke was pure white, which in my experience is bad.

Also, under the front driver's side wheel well there seems to be an immense about of ATF, or some other slick red fluid. It's all over the steering relay and the tire, the A-arms and everything.

The OBD codes were 6 (Rpm signal) and 42 (vehicle speed sensor)

Thanks in advance for anything you know

 

Now when I ran it to get it in the garage it is puffing white smoke. I've got a big incline in the driveway, if you think that matters.

 

Blown head gasket

 

I thought that's what I was hear, I was just hoping there was some other explanation.

 

I thought since the oil wasn't milky I might be gettting fluid somewhere else, or I was hoping....................

 

That my firend is a head gasket....mine did the same on the 13th. I have the proverbial friend that is the manager at the Toyota stealership so I'm getting the head gasket job and complete rebuild to include timing belt and new radiator for $1300. It also includes a 1 year unlimited mileage warranty. Drawback is they've had it for about 10 days and I knew this going in becuase they sent it to a machine shop to ensure all was well with the heads. Took a few days to get the gasket and TTY head bolts and I actually printed out some of the tips off this forum and they did that as well (re-tapping/cleaning the bolt threads).

Many of the guys in the forum will help if you're close to them. I know you can buy the gasket kit for +/- $250 and then labor is the real money grabber. For an extra $100 you may as well do the timing belt too.

 

Did you have the Red Toyota Antifreeze in it , if it was is that what you are seeing all over the place ?
And if it is did you blow a heater hose or rad. hose to overheat and blow head gasket ?
Unless you have ATF in your PS and blew a line coinciding with HG death , I just metion this because you will need to get that solved/repaired as well , sorry about the death in the family
