Coolant


So as I'm sitting in the drivethru for a quick bite to eat, I notice I have some 'steam' coming from my tailpipes.

I pull out my cell phone and look up the weather. It was 66 degrees F and 95% humidity... I was like, this is odd. Maybe the humidity? I text Matt (mustangmatt) and he says it shouldn't be doing that. Id be worried about burning coolant...

Well, when I get home I get behind my car and see if I can smell any burning coolant (sweet smell). None. All I smelled was gas from the O/R X.


So, should I be worried, and if so what could cause coolant to be burned?

Hot dry air going against cool humid air...going to make your car steam.

Steam is fine. Should be worried if you start to have low coolant when it isnt leaking.

Top off your coolant if you are convinced its a problem. Then check it in a few days to see if it is any lower. (noticeable amount not just a tiny bit).
