STEAM COMING OFF ENGINE

Suspect head gasket failure.

I am not familiar with this specific vehicle. Open hood while engine is running and see where this steam is coming from. If from around the new water pump I would say bad installation. If it's coming from another area, see if bad hose, replace, or possible head gasket, repair soon, it could be as simple as a hose clamp that needs to be tightened. Only you can see this. GOOD LUCK FRIEND.

Water pump is going out.

Most water pumps have a small hole on lower side of W/pump, little below the shaft! If coming from there the seal is going-replace water pump with brand new one/ not a rebuilt one, I' ve had bad results W/rebuilts

This could be a lot of things. If you dont use the right mix of coolant and water it can overheat. The raidiator cap might be bad, the fans might not be working, the thermostat might be stuck, the raidiator might be gummed up with deposits. The big worry now is whether or not you have a blown head gasket or warped the head.

The best way to find out where the coolant is leaking from. When a head gasket blows, usually there is water in the oil. Turning it kind of white. Or pressurizes the cooling system. But if you have had the head gasket replaced once already, then it probably is not the head gasket. When the steam is coming out from under the hood, raise the hood to see where it is coming from. That will tell you were your leak is.

Typically when there is steam coming from the hood there is a pin hole in the radiator or hose. Most of the time when I see this problem there was a small chip in the radiator from a stone. It would allow steam to push out of the radiator but it was small enough to not allow any fluid to drip out. Hope this helps!

You should run the engine and watch it to see if you can see where the leak is coming from, it is most likely coming from a hose or the water pump.

could have been a little fulid from somewhere that was burning off.

1. Sometimes the steam from under the hood, because it is over heat.

1. Check the water hose include the heater hose, it is a smaller hose behind the engine on the top near the back of the hood, find out which hopes is leaking.

1. If the hose is OK, check the freeze plug on the engine, because if the engine is too old, maybe the plug was rust and leaking, when it’s leaking, the engine is hot, you will see the steam under the hood.

1. When engine is hot, you have to be very carefully, do not open the water cap, if you want to open, you have to either wait a while or use a heavy towel to cover the radiator cap, then open it.

1. Maybe the radiator is leaking.

I hope this can help you a little bit. good luck.
