Its a 1997, with 83K. Its not a smoke or burning, its more like steam from the engine closest to the windshield. Any reason why? Thanks.

Head gasket. Ain't gonna be cheap. Look for a domestic car next time.

It's an Antifreeze leak somewhere, look at the heater hoses, or if it's direcrtly from the engine could be a head gasket.

You might want to check your antifreeze to me it sounds like your car is over-heating! And if everything looks fine to you I would bring it to a full-service gas station!

cracked or rotted hoses, thermostat housing could be cracked, intake gasket leak

check radiator and stop driving that car and check the car from the dealer or professional mechanic
