Hi everyone,

Just hoping someone can shed some light on this...

I have a 2006 EX coupe and noticed steam coming from the engine today. When I got home, and the car was idling, more steam was building up. I am not sure if it was steam or smoke that was coming out of the engine, but there was a good amount of it. It was white in color.

I also noticed a faint burning odor in the engine compartment. It was too late to see anything outside, so I need to check the car in the morning.

Any suggestions for what could be wrong? What should I check first? My car is still under warranty, but Honda is closed over the weekend, and the only place open on Saturday is Monro.

Thanks!

-Dan
