hah, most cars spit a bit of water out of their exhast, maybe some of yours is evaporating and steaming

( i know this sounds kind of retareed,a dn im not questinoing your intelligence, hell, look atmy spelling, i have no room to talk)

just thought maybe you were being overly worrysome

Yeah, its probly steam. Valve seals shouldn`t go bad with that amount of miles but you never know. If its oil, you`ll be able to smell it.
