My Car IS Smoking!

i went to run an errand last night it was snowing and when i got home i pulled into my garage and i noticed smoke or steam coming from above the oil cooler screens on either side of the car. at first i thought it was coming from the headlights. no burning smell i'm assuming this was just steam from the melting snow on the hot radiator?

Yeah, the oil coolers get hot. When the air temp is right, they will steam in the presence of moisture.
Not a problem.

You sure you don't have a mouse in there somewhere that you just cooked?
