Motor leaks antifreeze out of front of oil pan motor knocks?

If you have antifreeze coming out of your oil pan you're in trouble. Knock comes from poorly combusting gas/air mixture in the cylinders. Engines need oil to lubricate the pistons moving in the cylinders and the crankshaft, gears and mechanisms controlling the valves. If you have antifreeze coming out of your oil pan, that probably means you have a cracked engine block because antifreeze circulates in the cooling system, which is supposed to be entirely separate from the oil circulating. More likely is that the antifreeze is leaking out of one of the pipes or hoses, especially at connecting points, and dribbling down the side of the engine to the oil pan at the bottom of the engine, and it just looks like it has come out there. If the engine loudly knocks all the time it may be a thrown rod.

Check the compression. that will be a far more accurate determination of whether there has been damage from overheating. If the compression is still ok across all cylinders, run a computer diagnostic test.


Why does white smoke come out of the tailpipe and smell like antifreeze?

I'm not a mechanic / technician but if white smoke is coming out of your tailpipe with the engine warmed up it sounds like you are getting engine coolant into one or more of your engine cylinders . ( bad head gasket / warped cylinder head ) Is the coolant / antifreeze mix also going into your engine oil )
