Message	I've noticed a couple of times when driving hard on a hot day, after I stop, I have steam coming up from between the back of the engine block and the firewall. I can't see any obvious coolant leaks, and I've looked where the two heater hoses go from the engine into the firewall (near battery). However, I have noticed my coolant levels very slowly going down over several weeks. Is there a another likely place back there where the coolant could be leaking from? It must be dripping down on the hot exhaust pipes from somewhere.

I will look more carefully (n/m) - jamil 11:01:43 06/12/08 are you sure it's steam? - bliZard 07:25:27 06/12/08 It seems very much like steam. I think smoke would smell - jamil 10:59:09 06/12/08
