    Hey guys, so i got in my car today and drove off to chicken filet. while i was waiting in the drive through i saw some smoke/steam coming out of my hood scoop. not a lot but, enough to be questionable. after i got my food i pulled into a parking and popped my hood and notice a little steam coming from my turbo/inlet area. i couldnt exactly tell where it was coming from. there was no smell to it either. there hasnt seemed to be anything wrong with the car it isnt over heating or anything. the car was also sitting for 2 days or so. any ideas?

    My first thought is a coolant leak? you would expect some smell though...or maybe steam from rain water that got in...
