you probably have an exhaust leak in the manifold or downpipe area
does the car sound louder than usual?

Woah dude, call the grammar police.

Seafoam is SUPPOSED to smoke like a mofo when you use it through the vacuum system, you might have an exhaust leak that's letting it into your engine bay. If I understand what you're trying to say, there's nothing to worry about. It's just the seafoam doing its job.

if there is a smoke coming out of your engine using seafoam, then there is obviously a leak

the smoke should be coming out of your exhaust just like it's suppose to be

You shouldnt smash down the block with Seafoam in your crankcase..

It thins your oil.

It also fouls up sparkplugs and o2 sensors... no one ever notices that for some reason.

Alot of oil will leave a base film, Leave seafoam out of your engine, period. Any modern oil will clean your engine better than pure petrol.

Ok, do this, put it in your oil, leave it there for lets say, 300 miles. Send the sample to blackstone labs.

Report back. How much aluminum?

They dont notice the warped rods either.
