Default White Smoke/Steam

Ok so yeah the stang is spitting out some white smoke/steam. It leaves a little moist residue on the ground but nuttin like carbon chunks. No smell to it either. Its also cold/drizzily outside and has been sittin a while too.

Besides keepin an eye on the anti freeze levels, anything i should worry about?

if its cold i doubt it a sign of an efficent running engine is a slight water drip from the exhaust, if ur really worried about it go get the coolant system pressurizer tool from auto zone(its a loan a tool) pressurize the system see if its bleeding down

Just run it for a while. Get it nice and warm. It may have just built up some condensation in the crank case.

Condensation is bound to accumulate in the exhaust anyways, so don't get too fixated on the water dripping out of the exhaust.

It prolly could just use a good old Italian tune up. Warm her up and open her up a little. Knock out all that crap sitting in the intake manifold planes.

Don't worry about it unless you are losing coolant, or you see oil in the radiator. It's winter time, and condensation buildup is going to be more pronounced than during the summer.
