If it is smoking white smoke, it is getting in the engine and the engine is burning it. If not, it is leaking somewhere. Sometimes you hve to check it when it is cold as it seals off when it gets hot. GoodluckJoe

Do you need distilled water in antifreeze?
No. you should always use a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water. Water, even distilled causes rust. Most headgaskets are made of thin metal. The water will rust around the water ports and cause the gaskets to leak. The replacement of a head gasket or gaskets will run several hundred dollars and worst casue serious engine damage can result. Antifreeze has additives that help to lube the water pump, inhibitors to keep rust in check and the 50/50 mixture will actually keep your engine running cooler.
What are the substances found in engine coolant?
Engine coolant is a chemical compound. It consists mainly of water, but water freezes too easily so an antifreeze is added.

The water and antifreeze make up around 90% of the coolant. The rest of it is chemicals to prevent rust and corrosion (redox reactions) occurring. In other words... Coolant contains: Water - 60% Antifreeze - 30% Others - 10% hope this helps
