I keep seeing smoke/steam coming from the grille, headlights, and through the front wheel wells after I park my 89 Brougham. What do you think this could be? I can't tell if it's smoke or steam but sometimes it smells like burning.....something, I dunno. Maybe antifreeze? Any guesses?

have you spilled oil on your header recently? maybe your front brakes? next time it happens pop the hood and see if you can tell where it is coming from.

If it just happened once you could've just had some water splash on the radiator. More than once and you might have a leak somewhere..

Open the hood and look for it. If you can see it from outside the car you should be able to see it when the hood is open too.

I seem to have an oil leak from my valve covers, it's a good chance that's the burning I smell. Thanks!
