Hi Ken,

I too notice this upon the first start in the morning. Along with white
smoke that lasts about a minute or so. No overheating problems, some
periodic "topping off" needed in warmer weather tho'.

Never knew about the water generated from combustion engines, guess I never
gave it much thought.

Thanks!
