Steam coming from hood on humid morning?
Purchased a used 2016 Chevy Impala this weekend and has been just fine. This morning, when I pulled into the parking garage at work, I noticed that there was this steam coming from the hood on the pass. side. The engine temperature is normal, no warning lights and no odor. The temperature this morning was 84 degrees with 80% humidity. Was thinking that maybe being in a confined space (garage) with the high humidity had something to do with it. No steam until I pulled into the parking space.

This is not uncommon; if it is very humid, condensation from the high humidity evaporates from engine heat, exits and then condenses as a vapor trail looking like steam. Some car designs, by accident, are far more prone to this than others but it is of absolutely NO danger whatsoever provided you only see it in very humid conditions (need not be morning either).

1. Burning off of Condensation.
2. Leaking Engine heads.
3. Check the coolant overflow tank for proper level.
4. Have a Tech check for leaks/pressure.
