i seafoamed my car this past weekend and after about a minute of the smoke pouring from the tail pipe, i started to notice smoke coming from the engine bay. it wasnt anywhere near as intense as the tailpipe smoke, but still very noticeable. it seemed to come from behind the engine near the firewall. i tried to locate the source but it was coming from somewhere too far back behind the engine for me to see. some seafoam was spilled when i ran it through the brake booster line, but it dripped mostly on the lower intke manifold, so i dont think it was that burning off. my guess is its a bad gasket on the rear valve cover or a bad gasket on the rear exhaust manifold. i dont have any oil lossage which leads me to beleive its not the valve cover, bc if ti was bad i would leak oil right? if anyone has any ideas as to were this leak is coming from i would really appreciate it, i hate driving around knowing theres somthing wrong with my engine.

well i had this too...i don't think it's a leak. It's just that there's massive amounts of smoking all over the place because of the seafoam. I wouldn't worry.

^ i've heard that on older engine, seafoam can actually be bad, for the same reason you listed

anyone have a pic of where the seafoam is suppose to be poured in? (brake booster line)

It's hard to explain what Lollerskates is...back when i played counter-strike that termonology was use...lol

This should be helpful to anyone trying to do seafoam or deep creep (made by seafoam but they claim it's better). The first video is what i'm talking about.

I had the same thing when I seafoamed. It was coming somewhere from firewall passenger side behind intake manifold. I guess it's the old upper intake manifold gasket, no big deal.
