2018 Civic Si smoke coming from front end
2018 Civic Si smoke coming from front end
so this morning while I was warming my car up I noticed a little bit of smoke coming out of the front end of my car. It happened prior in the summer when it was humid out and I was pushing the car. Today I took it for a wash and once I pulled it into the garage it started smoking a ton. I haven’t seen any leaks anywhere and the smell doesn’t smell like that sweet coolant smell. Please let me know if this is normal or if I need to have something fixed. I did just service my condenser about 2-3 months ago. The car still runs like a champ as well as the heat and A/C. I have about 25k miles on the car as well. I have a video of it but it won’t let me upload it for some reason.

is it steam or actual smoke?
I know you said it doesn't smell sweet, but is there a smell at all?

Re: 2018 Civic Si smoke coming from front end
From the amount of moisture on the radiator cover, I'd say it's steam. If it were mine, I'd pull the bumper and try and locate the source. If you're not tech savvy or don't have the tools, take it to a dealership or a shop
Despite the lack of sweet smell, how's the level in the overflow tank looking?
