2000 Cirrus, Steam comming from behind the block

[bae007]

I haven't actually seen this, my sister called me and told me the symptoms, but all I really got from here was that somewhere behing the block and near the steering box there is steam, not smoke, comming out? ANyone have any ideas. I told her to turn her heater on to see if it makes it worse but it dosent, also it stops when she turns the car off. Thanx for any info.

I had the same problem a couple of years ago. There is a small a/c hose that is behind the block next to the fire wall. It only steamed when the a/c was on. If this is the problem, you will have to take it to a dealer to get it replace. There is no way to unhook yourself.
