Steam is coolantrunning or just moisture an d crap built up on the motor from sitting so long. Look at all your coolant junctions. As for the smoke.... what color is it.

How long did u let it run for. Look for coolant leaking somewhere

More info please were not mind readers
 
true dat.

it may just be the oil residue and coolant burning off.....
 
sorry guys...well i found out my water pump is leaking and the smoke is thick white or blue i was told to chk if was my valve seals cuz the engine was sitting down for like 10months until i swapped it into my concerto its a d15b non vtec and the longest i allowed it to run was for like 5mins cuz of mywater pump leak but am gettin my pump replaced real soon i will keep urll updated guys thnx much
