Hello, I have a 1996 Honda Civic EX-Coupe with a 1.6L VTec engine. The other day as I parked the car, I noticed steam looking smoke coming out from under my hood.I know it's steam, b/c if it were smoke it'll be a burning smell, and it doesn't smell like it's burning. So I tried to see if I were able to catch where it was coming from, and I noticed it was coming from my thermostat location area. So I changed my thermostat and also put a new themo. Gasket. Also, my antifreeze is filled to the max line. Could you please let me know what this could be? Thanxz!
