Boosted Miata Coolant Leak, white smoking coming from engine bay.
My miata started bellowing white smoke from the engine bay when I came to a stop at a free way exit.
I checked the engine bay and I noticed a vaccum cap was leaking. I attached an video below showing the nipple.
Anyone any experience as to why this coolant leak happened? Is it just that the nipple went bad or could be something else entirely.

Nope its a boosted 1.8, bought it fully built by another person.
Just made a diy vaccum tube with an oil hose and a bolt, but its resting up against another coolant pipe. Any chance the hose clamp on my vacuum cap would get hot enough to melt the coolant tube? https://imgur.com/2UinUM1

It definitely won't get to hot, but I'd be worried about the clamp abrading the hose. I would try to get a piece of split loom or something between the two.
