Car first start up heavy white smoke from dual exhaust pipes (Northstar Model). Check Coolant light stays on. After car drives for awhile no more smoke but smell of antifreeze.

Could be just condensation however when the engine comes to operating temperature it should be gone if not-Get it block and pressure tested for combustion gas and point of leakage
