Started car today. Noticed a quickly dissipating cloud behind me. Ok, it rained/snowed yesterday. After allowing vehicle to run for 3-4min l begin to back up my very steep 100ft driveway, all the while with that cloud of what appeared to be water vapor. I get to the top put it in D and the check engine light comes on.
I just bought this car on February 5. I had previously noticed several times after driving that when I stopped there was a cooling system smell.
I stop, get out with car running and could see and feel with my hand a very hot moist vapor from the left exhaust but not from the right side. I immediately park the car. Radiator overflow tank is down to "low" level.
I start the car again in 5min and no check engine light.
What's going on here?
