Default WOT in the Vette, look in my rear view mirror...

And what do I see? A HUGE cloud of smoke. Continuously pillowing out from undeneath my car. Can't see anything behind me. So I turn off the motor (In case it was a blown HG and there was coolant in the oil) and coast to a parking space. Look underneath my PCV and the oil is milkshakey, not just kind of but it's really bad. Now I'm thinking, sh*t, guess my HG didn't like the extra boost. So I call a tow truck, get towed home. Clean off the coolant, which sprayed all over the engine bay, and somehow managed to soak the entire rear bumper???

So I check the dipstick, oils clean??? Pull off one of the valve covers, oils clean??? Fill the radiator back up with water, turn the motor on to find the leak, and guess what it was?! My heater hose! Burned on the header, and sprayed all over the header causing the huge smoke clouds. Guess the PCV just found moisture of its own. Someone up there still likes me.

Apparently 12 hours was enough time.
