white steam coming out from the hood?!
I have a Honda Accord 93 SE. The car still runs good except there are some leacking of the engine oil. However, there is a very strange problem with the car . whenver I drive it for a while, there are white steam coming from right sides of the hood like steam from boiling water, there are also burning smell. if I open the hood and take a look, I can find gas coming from the left lower part of the front body and even small drips of water/oil being sprayed everything.
I am wondering what is the problem and where is these steam gas/oil/water comes from? Is this the evaoperated leaking oil?
Thanks!

chances are your radiator is fine. What it is most likely is that you have a small pinhole leake in one of you hose and when you start the car nothing happens becuase the whole is so small that there isn't enough pressure to make the antifreeze spray out. But when your driving the pressure is building and the antifreeze is spraying all over the place . It may look like oil and water because of the coolor or how old the antifreeze is. What you do is either get a die kit and find the problem or you can wait to your engine is dry then drive around for five minutes then open the hood. you'll find the hole for sure.
