Default Underhood Steam
Heater core just went bad (smell hot coolant when heaters on), now I've noticed a small amount of steam from the passanger side of the hood right in the corner by the firewall. Little enough to where if I open the hood to investigate I can't see any more.

Is this also due to my heater core, or are these both symtoms of something bigger?

It sounds like your core is leaking and is draining from the box then dripping onto your passenger side manifold. Have fun changing it!!
