My spelling's getting worse every day, early onset..

My Coupe 2.6 created an awful lot of 'steam' out the exhaust when I first got it, so much so I wondered about the possibility of HG failure. Took it for a 30 minute run around town, then on to the motorway briefly... no better.

However after it I pressed the car into service all was well, the steam cleared up & experienced no coolant loss.

Well you obviously couldn't spell 'misfire' back when you joined the forum in 2009 so it's been ongoing for a while...........

Miss Fire ? Spelling's right just no space in the middle.

Yes I've been well aware of that since I did it.

I left it because there were a few funny posts between me and a guy Steve on here, he thought I was a woman and it sounded like a prostitute's name or something.

Anyway, hope it's just condensation, it's a big oil system, big cooling system etc.

Yep, I look just like that, but only at the weekends.

Would it be possible for water to accumulate / condense in a silencer somewhere and it gradually turn to steam as described? It would keep reappearing until all gone. Maybe a hole somewhere h allowed water in and soaked the wadding? Just a guess though but if right it would clear up with lots of use
