Steam leaking out

I noticed that there are steam are coming out or front grille. I couldn't find where it was coming from. There are no antifreeze leak and no puddle on the driveway. The antifreeze level is normal. This has been happening since last year during cold time of the year. Where could the steam be leaking from??

Re: Steam leaking out

If its steaming after running for a while in cold weather and there is no loss of coolant, then the steam may be from moisture or frost on the radiator that is warming up enough to evaporate.

Re: Steam leaking out

well, actually, it wasn't cold enough to frost. About 40-45 F.
