Another day another problem

Started her up went to a buddies to show em the power steering whine which still has not been fixed after 5 attempts. We popped the hood and smelt oil burning looked closer and smoke was coming from the engine side closest to the windshield it was coming out of both sides and when we opened the coolant smoke poured out. Problem 7 in 75 days! Sweet rap sheet!

You're sure it wasn't steam?

Ever replaced the valve cover gaskets?

Power steering whine is pretty normal on any Ford product. Usually its due to air bubbles in the lines. You can use a special vacuum pump that attaches to the PS reservoir and try to suck the air out of the system, I've seen that done a few times and it works quite well when done correctly.

Nah this whine is so bad it sounds like straight metal to metal when i cold start her. and on warm starts and driving its still about 5x as loud as the other ls' and i wont settle for the noise. Its not steam it smells like oils burning
