Re: White smoke - safe to drive to mechanic?
When you say white smoke from the engine, I think possibly a coolant leak that is spraying on the hot engine and creating steam. If the mechanic is 5 miles down the road, then driving it there when the car is cold, shouldn't be a problem. Unless the coolant reservoir is empty. Check under the hood to make sure some coolant is in there before driving to the mechanic. Overheating an engine can be very bad for it.
The making noise for awhile after it is off, could be the leak seeping or boiling out of the overflow.
