I found a hole underneath the thermostat Housing that is were all the engine coolant is leaking out. How do I fixed that?
Also there is white smoke coming out of the tailpipe does that mean my engine block is cracked or the head?

There is an actual hole in the engine? If so then there is really nothing you can do to fix that. Also if you have white smoke that smells like antifreeze then yes, you are getting coolant into the combustion chamber. Check your oil to see if it looks milky in color and the coolant to see if it looks like it has oil in it.

MAYBE HE MEANS HE FOUND A HOLE LEAKING UP THERE WHERE ALL OF THAT COOLANT RELATED STUFF IS AT

BORROW MAMA'S COMPACT AND USE A FLASHLIGHT TO SEE IT BETTER

MOST LIKELY THE WATER PUMP WEEP HOLE?

IF SO, IT'S TIME FOR A WATER PUMP!

WHITE SMOKE?

HAVE YOU OVERHEATED THAT PUPPY RECENTLY?
