I'm a bot unclear on this one, not sure what you've asked TBH dude

BUT........

assuming steam was pouring outa the tailpipes, theres a good chance its just moisture buildup from where the car stood over winter.

no overheating or Mayo in the rockerbox?
no loss of coolant ?

have a gander and report back, were all here to help when we can :D

Your question makes not an ounce of sense. Use commas and full stops and you might get a better response. :cool:

Becaused he realised it was in the wrong section I suppose.
Now moved to tech help and locked, so as to prevent two parallel threads.
