radiator leak, i think
on the way to work i noticeed a little steam coming from in between the hood and fenders i pull over, no fluid sprayed anywhere like i expected. just a little steam coming from in between the radiator and motor(2.8 12v),the only thing i noticed was the motor side of the radiator was a little wet only in a small spot.cant figure out where it is coming from. it never overheated and the coolant light never came so forced myself to get it home, when home i popped the hood to see i could where it was coming from but to no avail. that spot that the radiator was wet was dry as a whistle. any suggsetions on what to do next, u guys alwways come up with some good advise

its definetly leaking steam if not coolant, very slowly cause isee a very small difference in coolant level. i was thinking of just driving it around some more and hope the leak becomes more evident, man i really dont need this right now i just got to paintball, amd money burns in my hand, well it already did

the coolant gauge would always go one or two notches over the middle when idling for a long time on a warmer day but never smoked or smelled or went over one or two notches over the middle

yeah it may not be a bad radiator, but in my experience, steam and a "wet spot" on the radiator signifies a cracked core....

Might not be that check your waterpump.
