While driving heavy smoke begin coming from under the hood. The car registered hot and started to make clicking sound. Immediatedly cruise out of traffic. Told I had a cracked manifold and all fluids had spilled on the engine. I am concerned sever damage had been done to the engine when all is being repaired is the manifold. In the future I do not want to have to pay foe a new engine when a defective manifold caused the problem.
