Hey I was driving and noticed that I was getting no hot air from my ac. Looked under my hood and looked like I had no coolant in my car. Let the car cool down and topped it off with coolant and hot air started blowing again. I drove home and went out and drove for abt 20 min and noticed it getting cold again popped my hood and see this I don’t know if this is a bad thing it’s currently -1 outside I’m not sure if they should be smoke I most likely assuming I have a coolant leak

Correct, unfortunately, that amount of smoke is generally bad. Check oil and see if it looks like chocolate milkshake. A compression test is in order to confirm the health of the engine but this sounds like a classic head gasket. Sorry mate!
I think that my water pump might have failed and my coolant is mixing with the oil. I check the oil today and it did kind of look like choclate milkshake
So this is something that you don’t want to drive it until you get sorted - if there is coolant in the oil it will damage your engine to continue driving it. Water pump failures don’t typically result in coolant mixing with oil, although there were some ford engines which this was possible. What makes you suspect water pump failure?
