ok. heres the story. my jeep has been very troublesome lately. it started when antifreeze dumped out the front end. we replaced the radiator, hoses, and thermostat. so far the leakage of antifreeze has stopped but for some reason it insists on blowing smoke out of the seal between the thermostat housing and the engine. i have no idea what is doing this. please help me. all comments or ideas welcome.

sounds like you didn't replace the gasket. That's not smoke... it's steam.

replace the thermostat housing gasket and make sure the thermostat housing is not warped.
