Our daughter's 02 Intrepid had white smoke or steam coming from under the hood. She is young a nd didn't know which. We found that it had a crack in the coolant recovery tank and have replaced it. We don't believe the car overheated, but we are curious, as to whether it was smoke or steam from the engine. If antifreeze had escaped from the crack in the recovery tank and spilled onto the hot engine would it have caused smoke due to burning off, or steam?
