    Does said steam eventually dissipate? Is the engine using coolant? Is it running hot?

    its winter time, look at all the other cars on the road.

    until the exhaust gets hot, as it warms its making condensation and looks like steam out the pipes.

    It's cold...and it is normal.

    look at all the other cars on the road.

    It's catless.

    I see the "steam" even when it's 60ยบ outside.
