Default engine smoke. need help

so i was driving today and after about 20 minutes of driving around my car started steaming at a stop sign...i wasn't flooring it or anything. the smoke came from between the passenger fender and hood (the smoke came out from the back of the engine) then at the next stop sign it wasnt smoking at all...when i got home i opened the hood and couldnt tell where it was coming from. anyone know what the problem is?

there's a coolant hose running through the throttle body, and back down to the back of the intake.
its a real pain to get to, and examine. take your time, and use a little mirror if you have one.
mine recently popped a hole there.

my heatercore is bypassed and the two lines that go to it were capped off. the other night i was racing and one of them blew off and shot coolant all over. i capped it off again and a few days later it blew. so what i finally did was rig up 2 hoses and loop them like a circuit and it has been great since
