For the past month I have noticed a large amount of steam from my exhaust, but only at times....The temp gauge never went above 1/2 way (normal) The other day my wife was driving the car and noticed the steam and got a ck. engine lite on for a few seconds again no overheating. I added a quart of coolant and looked at all the spark plugs, they seem ok. I do find evidence of coolant running down the right side of the block at the very rear of it from the head. I realize its a long shot but what do any of you think the chances of re-torquing the head being successful at curing this. Or any other ideas or input? Respectfully, Scott
