started having antifreeze com through passenger side of car about two years ago. bypassed hoses so that during summer did not need the heat . then during that winter switched back and it worked ok. then this year the engine light came on and now i keep getting low coolant level even after i just added more. now the past 2 months did not have heater core hoses hooked up but while driving i notice white smoke coming from under hood and sometimes out tailpipe. looked under hood and found that the water hose has a small tear in it. everything was still on . could the water hose be making the white smoke appear and if that is back building could that push the antifreeze inside my car. what happens if i dont get the water hose fixed soon? i have no heat in my car . when i have heater core hoses hooked up inside window fogs up and can not drive at all. what do i do?
