Burning coolant at startup.

Mine did that as well, didn't really notice it at first (the smell) but it kept getting harder to start and started bogging for the first little while then would run fine. Untill one day I went to move my car to mow the yard and I put it in reverse and started backing up and white smoke poured out of the exhaust and I smelt coolant. Then it wouldn't start. Kevin rebuilt mine about 4 thousand miles ago. Coolant seals were shot, my cat was full of coolant, and it was just in really bad shape.
