Anti-freeze in smog muffler??

i just recently installed a new thermostat because my heater would only get warm the first two installments had leaked from the housing because of using temperature sensative sealants, well the third time i purchased the correct sealant and re-installed the thermostat and the motor ran smoother and heater got warmer but after driving a while a fair amount of anti-freeze came out but it was not leaking from the thermostat, the only place i could think of it coming out of was the smog muffler because due to a clog somewhere and it purging out but i am not sure.

The only way Antifreeze is leaking out of there is if it leaked into there in the first place.

In your other thread on the SAME subject, I believe you mentioned over filling after replacing the thermostat, I would venture a guess the antifreeze was sucked in there.

The air/smog pump intake muffler does not have antifreeze going to it.. ONLY air.........

Those are air/vacuum lines for the smog system. They have nothing to do with the coolant lines.
