My car started smoking slightly over the last couple days and just recently my antifreeze keeps leaking but my car is not over heating. It drives normally. It is not affecting performance of the car other than the leak and the smoke. Any ideas what it could possibly be? Or where the smoke is coming from and how its caused? And what are the symptoms of a blown head gasket?

Good morning,

There are so many places the car can leak coolant. You need to have the system pressure tested.

As far as a head gasket, if the car was constantly overheated and is smoking white smoke out the tail pipe are possible symptoms.
