2006 Honda Civic EX - white smoke coming from hood

Hello everyone. I have a 2006 Honda Civic EX with 28K miles on it and have started to notice a problem with the front of the car. Basically it is like a white smoke is coming from the front of the car and it seems to be corrosive as well.

I have attached two pictures showing what is happening. I popped the hood and can't find anything jumping out at me as far as what the source is, and was wondering if anyone here could lend an opinion and or assistance (possible how much my life is going to suck at the dealer too).

Thanks in advance for any help.

well you have warranty right? its prolly coolant burning somewhere. are there any leaks under the car? check the hoses and bottom of car for any coolant. do you notice the white stuff anywhere under the hood?

Re: 2006 Honda Civic EX - white smoke coming from hood

Thank you so much for your quick look at this.

I do have the Honda Care that I purchased with the car. So I am thankful that this might pay off.

Already booked an appointment with a dealer. If anyone has a recommendation in the New York area...please by all means, let me know.

Thank you again.

Brian
