and if so, any hints as to where this coolant leak could be. White smoke only appears out the exhaust at full throttle at 5k rpms or higher. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Default Yes

It could be your head gasket starting to leak. It may be fine when crusing but when under boost it could be leaking on the inner part of the head gasket or the outer. If inner you would not be able to see it. Also this happened to my honda right before I cracked my sleeve when I boosted my rad was actually leaking and that was casuing smoke but not coming from the exhaust. I think if you do a compression test this may give you an idea of where the headgasket is leaking.
