Engine Cooling problem
1997 Oldsmobile Achieva 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

When my gf was driving home from a football game she was driving for only 10 min and all of a sudden a big cloud of coolant vapor and smoke came in the car but wasnt coming from under the hood but will only happen when we start the car up and driving. I think it has to do with a coolant hose but I didnt see any loose. I was wondering if you could help me figure out what it possibly could be?

You probably lost the heater core. Make sure you don't drive it that way or you'll be buying an engine.
