ok....i got my first car like 2 or 3 weeks ago...i forget...i got it for 350 dollars. its a 89 240sx coupe. i have had this problem with the engine ever since i got it but i dont really car cuz im going to prolly get a CA18det.
white smoke flows out of the exhaust...when i checked the oil...steam came out of the oil cap. i checked the coolant level and it was dry so i fulled it up and started the car. five min later the rad was bone dry again...

im thinking that the lower timing chain guide broke, letting the chain hit the rad hose, putting a hole in it and letting coolant run into the oil pan...or the engine...

could it be something else? if so please help me....i want to fix this engine and make it last till i get the CA18 (a year or so)
