Hey guy's
Wonder if you have heard of this before. My trooper has a 2.6 and runs great. little underpowered but it's a trooper. I have noticed it starting to puff a little white "antifreeze" smoke when It's below 30, till it warms up. didn't seem to be much of a prob. Tonight I stoped and noticed steam coming out the hood, so I opened it up and my engine was steaming. so I pulled a flashlight and the pass. side below and around the intake manifold was wet. down to the slave cyl. and the bell housing on the tranny. the areas down there were wet, rest of engine was dry. Any my puke tank is empty. it wasn't overheating. . . any clues as to what is up?

recent events,
electric fan conversion
K&N air filter
Aisin Manual hubs, one on one to go
rear fender trimming to prepare for the 33x13.5 R15 super swamper LTB's
Praying not engine probs

thnks

If coolant is leaking around the intake manifold... I'd be looking towards the intake manifold gasket first and foremost.
