Engine Cooling problem
2003 Ford Taurus 66700 miles
There is white smoke (or maybe steam) that comes from under my hood, around the area of the radiator and AC condenser. I took it to my mechanic after it did it to me 3 times and he had it for several days and could not get it to replicate the incidents. The car is not over heating and seems to be running normally. I have had the car all day and have not had any problems with it thus far, but I am worried that the thermostat is stuck (open or closed) or the water pump is failing or a head gasket problem. We checked for leaks and found none. Also, there is not white smoke coming from the exhaust, no burning smell, or sweet smell (anti-freeze).
