Default intake manifold

today after driving my 95 civic ex with a d16z6 for about an hour i got home, and opened the hood to check my oil leak and my intake manifold was steaming not alot but you could definately notice it was steaming and the whole engine bay was hot as usual, but my car wasnt over heating what could that mean?

Where is your oil leak, why haven't you fixed it?

Did it smell like coolant?

Climb under it and check for more leaks.... It's possible the smoke is not coming from the mani, but under neeth it.
