I got a 1991 LS400 and it was running fine until sometime last week. I drove about 10 minutes at around 50 mph and when I parked, the car started smoking under the hood a little bit. I checked under the hood and the coolant tank was pretty low so I waited about 3 hours and when I came back, I topped off the coolant tank and drove home with no issue. The check engine light was on but I made the mistake of paying it no mind. Until today, it ran fine and took me to and from work and school several times. I took my mom out to do an errand that was 5 minutes away. When we get there, the car starts smoking again but it's not much. It's putting out white smoke and it goes away pretty quick. I drive home and it starts smoking again so I get concerned. When I come home I let it cool for another 3 hours before checking the coolant tank again and it's almost empty. I top it off again and I go to pick up my little brother from school. Before we even make it back home, the front of the car starts whistling and the car starts overheating. When I pull into the car port, white smoke starts pluming out the front left fender. When I pop open the hood, I notice the smoke isn't coming out from the engine but underneath the coolant tank. I don't think it's a coolant leak because when I park, there aren't any puddles or anything on the ground when I leave. What could it be? Attached are pictures of where the smoke was generally coming from -

Check the lights in the front. I wouldn't have guessed that the fronts are connected to the same failure sensing circuit. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-3rd-gen-2001-2006/905427-has-anyone-by-passed-the-lamp-failure-in-an-04-ls-430-a.html#post10392051 -
Thanks. I was aware of the camshaft position sensor codes but didn’t focus on the crankshaft. I am now concerned it is a broken timing chain. And that the cpu senses this and is preventing the starter from engaging. But the VSC code is a mystery. Thanks for your quick response and sharing your expertise -

I pulled my car out of the garage and turned it off. When I tried to restart I got a check VSC system on the dash and when I checked for codes I had several P0335, PO340, PO345, PO365 and PO390 and it will not start. Starter does not even engage. Any ideas on what is happening to my car with 200,000 miles? Ran great before this issue. This is a 2008 LS460 with maintenance kept up
