I have made a big problem! When I try to start my 85 928, it shoots antifreeze from the engine and blue smoke from one side of the muffler. It all happened after put my manifolds back on. Please help!!!!

I was repainting the manifold. So, when I put it back on and started the car, antifreeze came out of the rear of the manifold on the passengers side. I wonder if I did not put the passengers side on fully and coolant is going into straight to the manifold and burning. There is smoke coming from passengers side muffler tube. It is blue. I guess I should take the manifold off again, clean everything, and try it again.

Ok, Take a deep breath and come to the realization that your going to need to re-do the install. Don't just try to tighten things up. You will regret it. These motors are all aluminum. You MUST use proper tightening procedures ans torque specs.
